We’ll never be rich because this house has always been a money pit, and will always be one. Below are the results of the last two years of hard winters and the neighbor’s leaky rain gutters.

     We don’t have a close friend who is a mason and can do the repair work for cost.

     We don’t have the $$ for costs because it looks as though the entire porch needs a good jack hammering and removal.

     The city permits would kill our bank account.

     The Curmudgeon knows nothing about masonry. I know more than he does on that subject.

     Maybe we can squeeze out one more year?

     You all have a good one.
