Money Saved courtesy of son-in-law

OH my goodness, close to 900.00??? That is horrible, thank goodness for your son in law. We rent our house so when we have to purchase things we get to take it off of the rent and I think the last was the hot water heater. Dang, wish I had known then what I do now about the labor costs behind it all and would have tacked on more to the bill. hahahaha To be honest I don't think we even charged for labor for my husband and son installing it.

hi grand pa BOB, i am right now renovating my home and almost everything needs to be re-done. it's costing me a bomb, but i have no choise. hopefully after this job , for at least 5 to 6 years i wont need to do anything at home!

hey that is great, nothing like saving money, I am saving right now for a new stove that is what I need badly, I am going to get it with gather. gift cards and so I must wait a bit longer, but that is great that you saved so much money

You are lucky you have such a great son in law!!! That did save a bunch of money! It's been a while since I have had to replace anything.....guess you have to use it and I really don't even use my stove alot....now if the microwave broke down I'd be to walmart in five minutes getting a new one......glad your delimma is over!

What a great SIL you have! You know, we used to expect that sort of behavior and now we're just pleased as punch when we hear about it! I don't know what my appliance purchase will be. If my dryer goes out, I'm not replacing it. I'll replace the washer but it seems to be going strong. It might be the water heater but it's less than ten years old, as is the roof and the heating/cooling system. I have a head start on stuff! I'm still socking away money for those events. I wish I had a handyman in my social circle!

That's awesome he really saved you a whole lot! About 5 years ago my mothers water heater broke as well, she was unemployed and waiting to get approved for social security and had no income. My income was too low at the time as well so we prayed and prayed about how we were going to fix her water heater. The next day she went to Safeway for a gallon of milk, loaf of bread and a few other things and she walked by the scratch ticket machine. She thought " Well I guess I could buy a $1 ticket who knows??? " Mom bought that ticket, came to my house right down the road from Safeway to visit. She sat there and scratched it and wouldn't you know she one $3,000!!!! We both cried and thanked God for answering our prayers.

well I have not needed anything new right now but I am glad that you got yours fixed and for such a good deal...wow..$900 that seams a bit high..and yes you dont want to forget to add that shut off valve as soon as you can...XXOO

Cool! Don't you love it when you know people who will save you money and not bilk you? Plus, he got something nice out of it. As for a new appliance...man, I don't know. I moved apartments and the fridge in it was new. Well, new to me. But I didn't buy it...I haven't bought a new appliance since the year 2000. It was a microwave. Still got it!

Oh wow Grandpa Bob that is awesome that you saved that much money! You saved yourself about $460! What a nice son in law you have, it's always great when family can help! I am currently renting so I haven't had to replace anything yet!

hi Grandpa Bob, nicely done..your son-in-law is really reliable..its a great thing that he can fix it by himself to save up..that's th practical way to do these days..

Hi GRANDPA BOB, That is a really a nice looking boiler and it was nice of your son'in'law to do it for you and it cost half the price, enjoy your hot water and your toilet, must be a relief. Tamara

My central air broke and got a price to get a new one and my friend gave me a window one for free. But can't afford the light bill on it as well this year. So will have to work with the window and the wind. I hope it doesn't get to hot this year. I swell up in the heat and then I hurt. But I also need a new dryer mine is on it's last leg so to speak. I pray it will last until I get back to work. Your friend onlydia
