The Historic District

I can always ask. The water dept. has no intention of letting me off the hook. I used $83.00 worth of water in 30 days. It will be interesting to see the next bill, though. Four days of that month might have had excessive "use" because we were still on vacation, though nothing was running ...

I enjoyed the tour, also. That screened porch would have sold me, too.

It seems that we do not have homeowners coverage for this sewer back-up. The roots we found were not very big. That ruled out using insurance. I talked to the city director of public works to see if a truck was sent to my neighborhood. Nothing. Any problems would have been called-in. That ruled out ...

Glad you made it. I always enjoyed your posts.
