As I type this a crew of plumbers are jack-hammering my beautiful marble floor in the living room..
It seems that the reason why our water bill spiked so drastically is that we have a "slab-leak"..
A week away from sending the IRS $2,961.00, we now have THIS to contend with .. No idea how much it will be..somewhere between the $350 to find the leak and ?
