Someone just shoot me now....

Ladies and Gentlemen... If I didn't believe the old saying "When it rains it pours" before, I sure as hell do now...

My sewer line has collapsed. I received the proposal for getting it fixed today... $2,679. Not including sales tax, or extra back hoe hours at $75 an hour.

Think my little $180-$200 a week paycheck is going to cover that? I don't think so. Not and cover the medical bills and the loan payment (I had to take out a $1300 loan to pay for fixing my car a few months ago)AND put food on the table.
Hell, according to my tax statement, my house is only worth about $12,000... Do I want to put that kind of money into it??

Damn it all to hell....

Come on. If it weren't for problems you'd think you'd woke up in someone else's body!

Before you panic...okay, before you really panic, check to see what government programs there are to help you. Check for privately run, altrusitic programs too.

Maybe there is some "good ol' boy" with a back hoe that can give you a better price on the digging part of it.

I know it sucks big time. Hang tough.

Thanks, guys... you all are great...
I have everyone I know, including the regulars at the store, trying to come up with a better plan... R does a lot of digging in the oilfield (for cellars on the work over rig he works on) he offered to dig it out by hand... and I have no doubt he could, in the summer... but not now, the ground is too frozen...
I'm sure I can come up with something else...
