The woes of a home owner

Posted in another crazy day in my life at 9:04 am by kanadra

   Sorry i have not been keeping this blog up dated. Lots of things have been happening . So much has gone on where to star??

   First off my nephew and his new wife where kind and replace my heat tape just as the freezing weather set in. Yeah… I was so great full to have that much done. For as you may or may not know. I have not heat in my home except 3 space heaters. I was really worried about my pipes freezing.

  Speaking of pipes freezing guess what. My hot water pipe froze. The temp got down below zero I left the water running the cold that is. I should have left both dripping. Lesson learned. During this time My kitchen was really cold. Cold air was coming in from under the fridge.i couldn’t understand why it was so cold.I even put a space heater in it. Nothing seemed to help. Well the day the hot water pipe froze told the whole story. The freezer was hot.

   I made tones of phone calls, found out i have a warranty on the fridge and found some one to come out that day to look at it. I was told i have to pay for the man to come out and look at it. He told me I had a leak and he was going to have to take it withhim to fix. I was told i would have to pay for the transporting of it as well. So it looks like i will be out of $100 by the time its all done. The fridge was bought on April 12th 2007. I am not happy at all. On the bright side my fridge will be cleaned out after all is said and done.

   Not a lot going on right now. I am fighting like so many others to keep my home and utilities going. I still  have not been able to send the gas company some money or the credit card i have. I have just been able to pay for phone/tv/Internet, electric,lot rent and mortgage. I don’t know how folks are suppose to live these days. I make just under 12 an hour and its not enough.

   The only good news is i have a luncheon Thurs afternoon to serve. I also have a party on Saturday night as well. I only hope i can do it. My back has been giving me so much trouble lately.

   Its time like this when i seem to struggle more then i live life i wonder if its all worth while. I wonder if i am taking up room for some one else who could do a better job then my self. I am not doing a very good job my self. Any way on with life and work for now.
