Sorry about the pipe burst!<br /><br />I hate to rain on your parade--but hey, might as well kick you while you&#39;re down--but if Handyman Mike thinks he can do a kitchen remodel for $3,000 he&#39;s got to be either clinically insane or dumb as a rock. HOW?! How can he do all that for $3,000?? And if he really can, send me his info because I want him to finish my basement.<br /><br />I hope everything gets squared away quickly!TOWRhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01793365147574634180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791166.post-39077714673188703172010-01-28T13:55:14.476-07:002010-01-28T13:55:14.476-07:00Emily - Bad Angel says it would only be $3,000. We all know, the entire universe knows, it would be way, way, way, way, way more. This is why Bad Angel is mean and stupid (but also why we love him, telling us what we want to hear instead of the truth.)Azúcarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13859567470814286102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791166.post-53480810141981358732010-01-28T13:53:29.833-07:002010-01-28T13:53:29.833-07:00For the love of all the suckage in this very fine world!

I called last month the second we discovered water leaking from the dishwasher through the floor to downstairs. Turns out I jumped the gun, because it didn&#39;t turn out to be close to the $1000 deductible.<br /><br />In other news, really only $3000 for a kitchen remodel? I&#39;m too incredulous.

Gives you one of those not-so-good feelings in the pit of your stomach, doesn&#39;t it? Makes you wonder, &quot;Why the *$#@! did I buy a house?!&quot; Then your neighbor&#39;s dog takes a crap on your lawn just to top it all off, and you&#39;re forced to oppress the desire to kill.
