If thread belongs elsewhere--pleae move where apporiate--
THE BAD-
Ms marauderman and mr marauderman must say we are NOT able to make the trip to Ennis!!! The story follows:
THE UGLY-
To make a long story short--out home is ranch on concrete slab on dirt with no crawl space-- about 3 + years ago( bought house 5 years ago) drain under tub in far bathrrom broke under slab--wasn't identified till now--major problem--dirt became contaminated and smelled awlful-- had a foundation Engineering Firm give estimate -- about 5-6 K $$$ to correct-could be more- so had plumbing Co in to pull out bricks and dig out dirt and crawel under and fix piping...then had Engineering Firm give estimate for slab fix (5-6K $$ or more) --alot of area(dirt) was beneath the slab--BUT-first need to have another firm video all piping for further leaks--before Engr.firm can begin --in case others need fixed--anyway--much $$$--sooooooooooooo--
Something had to be saved---the money use for the Ennis trip--
SO we regret we will miss out on all and everyone's fun and talk and drinking and BS and whatnot--but you are all still the best friends we never met--someday we will --afterall--thats why all we have MM's--to travel and have fun--
THE GOOD-
Our room at the Quality Inn is available still --for four(4) days- 18,19,20, and 21st--
So--If you know of someone who can use it contact Bob Mathis--he'll let me know whom to turn it over to- if not already taken- doubt it at this point--
Cause the story is already out on the chat channel--- so Will hold it till Bob calls me...I thought since he helped so much he should help one in this need as well --at least I had a hand in it in some small fashion for someone's fun--
With deep feelings on this but thoughts for furure fun time--marauderman--Tom
