My roommate and I have a leak in her bathroom and bedroom (Mr Rooter tells me that the valves next to the toilet are leaking, and they wanted $661.60 to fix the leak with no guarantees that it would be fully fixed).<\/p>\n
Mr Rooter had supposedly fixed a leak under the house 2 days before the leak in the bathroom started, for which I was charged $471.00. I borrowed $250.00 from a friend for the half down that Mr Rooter required, and still owe them $221.00.<\/p>\n
Looking for a good plumber (preferably not one that is associated with a big plumbing chain) who would work with us (ie taking payments), as I am unemployed and my roommate is on SSI.<\/p>\n
I am unemployed and have no money coming in (my roommate pays the space rent although it is my house).<\/p>\n
As of May 4, we turned off the water to the entire house so that the bathroom and bedroom could be dried out.<\/p>\n
We will be using buckets to flush the toilets, and have some drinking water in the refrigerator (also my roommate is planning on buying bottled water to drink and cook with).<\/p>\n
Also my next door neighbor ran a hose from his house to ours so we can have water for doing dishes and flushing the toilets<\/p>\n
However, we can’t live without showers, baths, doing laundry, etc for very long.<\/p>\n
We may be able to get a non-plumber who has plumbing skills but we still need to have money to pay him or at least partially pay him.<\/p>\n
I am trying to scrounge up $100.00 for a ‘down payment’ but the going is slow.<\/p>\n
Right now the “Fix Suellen’s Plumbing Fund” sits at $40.00, because I sold a vintage camera to a local antique store yesterday<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
