When it Rains...It Pours...Burgess Family Week In Review


Hello Everyone:


This week was quite a trying week for the Burgess family. We started the week off feeling so confident...we even found our dream house and could see the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and well then our luck ran out.

Well on Tuesday, I took Karl's car to Tire's Plus in Brunswick (yes I am throwing their name out there because they suck) to get a routine oil change, brake check, and fuel line flush....well Karl came to see me and take me to lunch as he normally does at least once a week and he gave me the bad news. He was contacted by tires plus and told that he needed new tires and tons of other stuff and $1000 later I went to pick up his jeep. Well, as I was driving home, I noticed a very weird noise-one that the car was not making when we took the jeep in for servicing...to make a long story short Karl took the car back to Karl's plus just to find out that there was a $400 bigger problem....so as the story goes...this problem caused a large chunk of our saving being used up.

So that puts us two months back from starting the paperwork for our house....we still hope to be in a new house by December...our goal is to celebrate Christmas in our new home around the fireplace...I think it is possible, but we will have to see.


More to come soon....
