I live in Burlington, Nova Scotia My husband & I lived in a mobile home for 10 years & just bought our first home together 3 years ago which we hope to be our retirement home. We have been together a total of 12 years & are both starting over after being divorced. After we moved in, to our horror we found out that the basement flooded because the weeping tile was bad, the roof leaks in one spot, there is no insulation in two walls & it is in desperate need of new siding & windows!! We already fixed a few bad holes in the floor ourselves & have started a rec room downstairs , but we don’t want to finish it until we fix the leaking problem We contacted the reality that we bought through but they would not give us any satisfaction so we contacted a lawyer but found that we just can’t afford to hire one. We have two wonderful granddaughters that spend a lot of time here & only have one Tiny room for them to share. Our plan was to bring the laundry room up stair to their old room since I have fibormyalgia & I find running up & down the stair to do laundry bother my knees. At the rate we are going ,with the limited funds we have because I am no longer able to work, it will take us years to complete the work & we want to be abl to have a descent home to enjoy our golden years ahead & to leave to my son & granddaughters .I have lost three homes in the past…..one through co signing a loan for someone & one by fire & the last one through divorce. It seems that we take one step forward & two back & I am becoming so disappointed that I just feel like giving up….I am getting too old & sick to start over again!! Even if we had help with some of the work it would be a big help & very much appreciated. My husband & I watch your show every Sunday & we believe that you are the best at what you do, we wouldn’t trust our home to anyone else!! Sincerely : Maryanne Legere Dear Mike,
My name is Maryanne Legere, I am in my early 50’s.
I live in Burlington, Nova Scotia
My husband & I lived in a mobile home for 10 years & just bought our first home
together 3 years ago which we hope to be our retirement home.
We have been together a total of 12 years & are both starting over after being
divorced. After we moved in, to our horror we found out that the basement
flooded because the weeping tile was bad, the roof leaks in one spot, there is no
insulation in two walls & it is in desperate need of new siding & windows!! We
already fixed a few bad holes in the floor ourselves & have started a rec room
downstairs , but we don’t want to finish it until we fix the leaking problem
We contacted the reality that we bought through but they would not give us any
satisfaction so we contacted a lawyer but found that we just can’t afford to hire one.
We have two wonderful granddaughters that spend a lot of time here & only have one
Tiny room for them to share. Our plan was to bring the laundry room up stair to their
old room since I have fibormyalgia & I find running up & down the stair to do laundry
bother my knees. At the rate we are going ,with the limited funds we have because I am
no longer able to work, it will take us years to complete the work & we want to be abl
to have a descent home to enjoy our golden years ahead & to leave to my son &
granddaughters .I have lost three homes in the past…..one through co signing a loan for
someone & one by fire & the last one through divorce.
It seems that we take one step forward & two back & I am becoming so disappointed
that I just feel like giving up….I am getting too old & sick to start over again!!
Even if we had help with some of the work it would be a big help & very much appreciated. My husband & I watch your show every Sunday & we believe that you are the best at what you do, we wouldn’t trust our home to anyone else!!

Sincerely : Maryanne Legere
