Well -- HAHA--I guess say well a lot...awfully ironic since we don't have one--anyway--Roberto was in court last week to try and battle with the second well company and their outrageous bill. Unfortunatetly, the courts didn't see it our way and we received a letter from Berks County stating we owe Well Company 2 a little under $7200. We have a call into our lawyer to see what our options are. I know we can appeal...that is common knowledge but is it worth the money? If it were up to me we would hop on our soapbox and lead the march for what is right. I want to prove they are creeps and have totally screwed us over. I want to hire those sign carrying planes and rent billboards warning everyone of these people. I want to take the crazy route! I am pissed. I am outraged. My insides shake with anger and disgust. I just don't understand why this is our path? I just don't understand why! I cannot believe we are at fault. Really? We invest $11,300 into a well, this company comes along says they can "complete" the well (their words, not mine), then break what we have and then bails--They leave us high and dry. They never offered an alternate plan. They never offered to dig another well. They left us--with no other options except to pay them $7200. How is that our fault? So now, there is $18,500 in a well hole that can NEVER be used! (That $18K doesn't include the state of the art water filtration system we were told could clean up the water too that we paid $5000+ for...yeah, we weren't even using it on the well that worked, yep, we didn't need it!) It is just insane!!!
Just about 3 years ago I thought we were going to have it all! I though we were going to build our dream home and live the life you see in magazines and pictures, the life I want to give my kids. But that just isn't going to happen just yet...I guess! God has another plan for us. We must go through this-- It doesn't make sense now, maybe I need to do some deep breathing to rid myself of the anger I have to see the light! I will keep you all posted in the next coming weeks as the well guys come back out, and when we meet with our lawyer about our next steps! Please send positive thoughts, prayers and strength our way! We need it all!!!

We have not disappeared...
It has been a while from my last post. I swear we haven't disappeared.
Just days after our last post we were served with papers from one of the well companies...they were suing us! Yes, that is right....they are suing us. We go to court this week so I don't want to get into it too much. They are suing us for monies that were unpaid. Hopefully our lawyer can prove our case!
After laughing really hard because I seriously feel like we can't make this up...I contacted my sister, Maura, about a process called smudging...we stopped at an all natural store here in Easton, PA and bought sage and blessed our house. We had all windows and doors open asking all those negative energies to leave our home. We even blessed the well piping and the perimeter of our lot...I am sure if our neighbors saw us they would think we were doing a strange exorcism...but I guess we did...we kicked out the negative energies! We had 2 bits of really good news in days of doing the smudging...so maybe it worked...
As for our water situation.... We are still having water delivered. Since our initial fill back in January, we have only refilled once....we are getting ready for our second fill. That's not so bad. We aren't being overly frugal with our usage so it is lasting about 2 months...We can handle this!
Two of the well guys are supposed to come back sometime in May to see what they can do. Roberto has done some research about how people in the south, like Florida, get wells....since it is all sand. He found that they do this liner inside the steel casing... like a PVC pipe that has holes drilled in it and then it is wrapped in a filtering fabric. This way the water is filtered before it even goes through the well pump, into the house and through our water filtration system. We don't know if this will work or is even an option. The well may be bad and may not be usable. We may need a new well all together! If our only option is to drill a new well, we will probably just wait a few years. We can budget for water delivery, we know what that will cost. We don't know what a new well will cost so that will have to be saved and budgeted for. I was really angry when I first heard this is what might happen. But then I realized it is what is best for our family. We can get a handle on our finances (we have come a long way in the short few months) and pay off debt before we dump more money in another potential money pit.
I am still so lucky to be where I am and be with the person I am going through it with. Roberto has been so proactive, hands on, and patient during this entire process. He has educated himself and taken a slow, steady, and calm mind as we jumped each hurdle. I think I would have been a lot more impulsive if I had to be the one on the forefront...I am glad he is taking it on!
Keep tuned it...and keep your fingers crossed the hearing goes well on Tuesday!
