Thank you. You are very kind and your words are comforting. Seventy-five percent of my net worth is tied up in my home. I suppose I'm going to have to suck it up and repair what I can. I am going to ask the neighbor to split the plumber bill and the driveway repair; my patio sinking and stucco...

Oh, did I mention my HVAC guy told me that the humidity in my basement (which was due to the leak, it turns out) would be improved if I finished it in? So I put in a very nice in-law apartment because I don't need a man cave to the tune of $50,000. My grad school daughter lives down there now. I...

Not to mention that when the water line broke and blew the holes in my driveway it also washed out a lot of gravel from underneath the asphalt onto my lawn, and now the rest of the driveway appears to be collapsing for about ten feet and precariously close to my septic tank. This is a hell of a...

I hear you. I called an engineering firm and they said I need a geo tech to determine what happened and who might be at fault. Sounds expensive. I called the Dept of Insurance and they said filing a claim would be a waste of time. I know one attorney who said I should file the claim and damn...

Thank you. I will check into that. I think they are required to search public utilities, not private, but I will find out. I'm across the street from this guy and the well house is literally eight feet from his driveway. How did he think the water got across the road? I was busy and stressed...

They have association meetings for a road fund. We never see bank statements or balances, just are told what we owe. At the last meeting four of the homeowners got together and said the road fund should pay for a retaining wall, made of river stone, to be repaired. It's thirty some years old...

There's an attorney in the association who has mentioned it was never registered. I searched on the Secretary of State website and couldn't find an INC or LLC. I got the association bank statement by accident once. It was just addressed to the association. The covenants say the developer chose...

I inherited a house from my husband that has a shared well with about six houses. I have lived there 28 years. A new neighbor moved in right after my husband died about four years ago. He had a new concrete driveway built soon after moving in. I did not realize it at the time, but it was...

I inherited a home in a subdivision whose developer never created an LLC. He did create covenants and registered those with the local register of deeds. In the covenants, he states that the homeowners could form their own association, which they apparently did. However, it was never made...
