Ouch.
you should have called justin! :)
This is not the first time you referred to your family heirloom as a "money pit." Please refrain from using the term "money pit" when writing about your father's home. You can call it a "fixer upper." Dull silver that needs to be shined. Or "older home" that needs updates. Just saying!
