Letters For Lucas and tomorrow’s Letters For You will be on hiatus for a while. SIDE NOTE: Thank you, Momma Kiss for your understanding and my frantic phone call.
I am heading to Arizona at this very moment to deal with God knows what.
My sister and I still own our parents house in Tucson and pay monthly minimal utilities bills. The water bill is usually under $20/month. Yesterday’s bill was over $5000! Turns out a main water line (we think) burst on or around July 6 and we are going to assess the damage(s).
Great.
Just where I want to be in the dead of summer.
Dealing with this crap.
Lucas will be accompanying me, (missing a trip to visit his grandparents and at least two days of preschool) as will my sister.
Now accepting barrels of wine.
Wish us luck.
Sophie says
Holy Crap!!!! WTH????? Sending you tanks of wine and tons of courage! Wish I could come and help you drink, eh no, clean the damages. Good luck XOXO
Tonya says
Thanks for your good wishes and for checking in. xoxo
Alison says
Oh my, urgh! So sorry to hear, hope you manage to sort it out quickly.
Tonya says
Yeah, I wish. One whole half of the house is completely under construction right now. Such a mess. Thank goodness for home owners insurance.
Stephanie says
Oh Lord! Sending hugs. Wish I could send you wine. Such a crappy thing to have to deal with 🙁
Tonya says
Crappiest of the worst kind. 🙁
Life As Wife says
Omg that’s terrible! I wish someone would have called you or called the town/police when they noticed flooding!
Tonya says
Yeah, exactly. Our neighbor who was suppose to be keeping an eye on things sort of dropped the ball. In her defense, she just lost her brother. But still…
angela says
Good luck. Sending positive thoughts to Arizona.
Tonya says
Thanks so much. They are needed. Sigh…
Jackie says
OMG…. I hope that all is okay when you get there!
Tonya says
Turns out a valve from a toilet disconnected from the wall. Half of the house is under reconstruction right now. Such a mess. Thank goodness for homeowner’s insurance.
Kir says
just sending as much love as I can. I’m soooooo sorry that happened sweetie.
Let us know how it goes, I’m only a text away.
Tonya says
You are such a dear friend and person. xoxo
Kendra says
Oh that is terrible. I love that house. That really sucks. Hope it’s not too terrible. xoxoxo
Tonya says
It’s pretty terrible, but work has already started. A valve from a toilet disconnected from the wall, ruining the guest bathroom, guest room, master bedroom, master bathroom, hall, closet, living room, foyer and front door area. It was shocking to walk into. To say the least. Will tell you more when I see you in SB. 🙂
Jessica says
Damn lady. That sucks. Hope you get it all taken care of.
Tonya says
Oh yeah, nothing that $15K+ won’t fix. 🙁 Thank goodness for insurance.
Katie says
oh dear god! prayers!
Tonya says
Thanks, Katie, it has been a rough week.
Kimberly says
Oh no! And nobody called to let you know? That’s awful. Sending hugs. And wine!
Robbie says
oh no…what a mess! So sorry.
Mel says
OH NO!! *sending good thoughts and cases of wine*
Leah says
What a nightmare. It’s trips like that that really make me appreciate my new home here in LA.
