Estimate for the Van was wrong!

So when we had gone to the body shop to discuss fixing the van the guy told us it would be about $3000. We got the check in the mail that we will have to sign over to the bodyshop. It is for over $6000, and we have to pay an additional $500 which was our deductible.

Atleast that isn't coming out of our pocket.

As an added bonus last week we purchased a used truck for the oldest kid. It took me 2 weeks of constant looking to find it. We spent Monday running around to get it titled and tagged, so we only drove it home from the dealer about 7 miles up the road. The next day we took it to the shop so it could be worked on all day. The next day my son drove it about 40miles round trip. Then the next day it sat. Friday when we hopped in it to do some running around we don't get 2 miles from the house and there is a problem. I take it ot the mechanic and he says Tran$mi$$ion. Long story short, we have to get a new tran$mi$$ion which is way over $1000.

WIAT It gets better. As I sit here typing this I hear a dripping...I look over and there is water dripping from the ceiling! Yep a leak! House is all of 4 yrs old.
