So the third estimate is in on my sewer replacement. $17,600 is the lowest bid, but they still have to look at the property. And I don't have the price of a used car laying around, so now what?
I've asked that the price be taken off the price of the home, but the buyer ain't going for it. They want the work done and certified before they'll sign on the dotted line. I've asked the plumbing company if they can do the work then take the cost out of the house sale proceeds (assuming we still have a deal), but he's not so sure his manager will go for it.
And what if I somehow come up with the money and fix it and the buyer backs out anyway? What then?
A friend on Facebook suggested that Go Fund Me might work. I was kind of hoping that he would start it, but today I decided to do it myself. I want to weep from embarassement, but there it is - I need help.
My biggest fear is that no one will fund me. Not because of the money but because deep down I'm afraid that I'm not loveable enough to help. Yep, my insecurities are running rampant. I'm so used to doing everything myself and never asking for help. Part of that is the North Dakota stoicism I was raised with, part of it is from just being on my own for ever.
But it's out there now, and on Facebook, and on Twitter. I did it - I asked for help. Don't judge.
