Happy Friday everyone! We got some great news related to our sewer problem that we discovered back in February. The initial estimate given to us by Roto-Rooter was $7,000. We decided to get a second opinion recently from a plumber we found on Angie’s List. He came over yesterday and his estimate was at $2,200-$2,800. That’s a HUGE difference! Not only that, he personally went down to public works in our city and talked to the city engineer, who immediately admitted that there was a water main issue a few years ago that likely caused the problem. What does this mean for us? We owe $0. Angie’s List literally saved us at least $7,000. Pretty incredible. We can’t use our awesome contractor we found, but since we’re not the ones paying for the repair anymore we can’t be picky.
We experienced more crazy weather in Minnesota: it snowed on Monday! We got about 6 inches of this heavy, wet snow. This partly inspired my post 5 Frugal Summer Activities because we didn’t really get much of a Spring. It should hit 70 this weekend, though, so things are hopefully changing for the better.
The pic I chose for today’s post is a pic of Target Field, where the Twins play. I’m looking forward to going to a few games now that the temperatures are breaking the 40s…
Not too much going on this weekend for me, just working on the site and trying to enjoy the great weather. Do you have any big plans this weekend?

That’s awesome about the sewer repairs DC! I bet that has got to feel like a huge weight has been taken off your shoulders. We’ve had crazy weather as well this week. We got snow on Monday & Tuesday and tomorrow is supposed to be 80. I am thinking we’ll be working in the yard. Have a great weekend!
FrugalRules It definitely does! It’s supposed to be in the 70s tomorrow here as well, I welcome the change. Hope you have a great weekend as well!
So the city is going to pay for the repair? If so, that is wonderful. :-) And quite the long list of giveaways. It seems the Mommy bloggers make a living from hosting all these giveaways. Enjoy your weekend. We finally have a few days of warmer weather as well, but it won’t last for long for us.
TacklingOurDebt Yep the city is paying : ) Haha yes the Mommy Bloggers are like a giveaway network. The further you dig, the more you find. Do you only get a few warm months a year? I suppose I only know you live in “Canada” not where.
DC @ Young Adult Money We really only have 2 seasons in Western Canada, beside the Rockie Mountains. Cold and hot. Although today it did hit 70 degrees out, but it will cool down by Tuesday. Typically June to September are hot, but sometimes it starts snowing again the last week of September.
TacklingOurDebt Okay that makes sense, I feel bad that you don’t get Spring and Fall! Then again, we didn’t get Spring this year either…
Another huge list of giveaways DC. Glad to hear that your contractor went above and beyond and was able to get the city to pay for the work. That is more than worth the cost of Angie’s List. I hope you enjoy the weather and have a great weekend.
DebtRoundUp The Angie’s List purchase starts looking better and better. Roto Rooter was not even going to contact the city! I hope you have a great weekend as well!
That’s a truck load of giveaways, and wonderful news about your sewer. Hard to use wonderful and sewer in the same sentence.
Eyesonthedollar Haha, well a functioning sewer IS wonderful!
That’s quite an extensive list DC. Thanks for sharing it.
