Spring Stress Continued

Ok. I got my plumber, Darryl, to come out to the house and walk around with me. He told me that while he does not do septic systems anymore, he does have a guy to take care of that for me. He will come out to give me a better estimate but should be able to start withing 2 weeks. Darryl did warn me that the septic will most likely have to be a mound system. I have a vague idea what this is but it also means that we are looking at around $7000 for the system. This means that I have to pay out $3500 because the property owners are taking care of half.  The rest of the work that needs to be done is the well tie in and digging a hole for electricity. this is going to cost another $3000 our of our pocket. then the electrician to tie in the electricity which I have not gotten an estimate for yet.



We found another trailer to take a look at in Thief River Falls. It is a 3 bedroom 1 bath for $3250 with a pre-estimate of $600 to move it to the house. I am still trying to get the guy to call me back though. But regardless, I have to clear a crap load of small trees and have someone lay down gravel I guess before we can put the thing on the property.


Good news though. We got our taxes done and our return will pay for most of this. Bad news now. We were suppose to get our state return last week and still have yet to see it. That is killing our bank account. But I will call and  take a bite out of the Tax people and make sure everything is going as planned.
