Grosh Family Blog - An expensive week but at least my christmas lights are up.
This last week was probably one of our worst in reguards to saving money. First we had to repair a water leak that only cost us $200 thanks to whites plumbing. We ended up having to replace the whole shower valve. They had to break through the tile on the front to fix the valve. In order to save money I had them leave the tile unrepaired so that I could fix it myself after christmas. The same day that we were having the leak fixed we lost our power due to a damaged main line out to the street. Luckly there is a conduit to our meter from the street so they did not have to dig up the yard to pull a new line. However, this still cost us more then $500 to fix. I also ended up spending about $300 on hardware supplies to finish up the light show this year. The good news is that its finally done and running. We had two photos of our lights in the Tallahassee Democrats "Tour of Lights". For the past few weeks the traffic in front of our house has steadly gotten heavier. Most nights we come home to 10 or more cars waiting to watch the lights. Sometimes we will see more then 20 cars up and down the street waiting to watch our lights. Gabriel and Jacob still beg us most night to go outside and watch for a while. If you want more information about the lights go to www.tallahasseelights.com
