A weary homeowner studies a towering stack of invoices while a cheerful contractor stands before a deteriorating Victorian house surrounded by ladders and repair materials.

The Money Pit: Every Repair Reveals Another

The Whitmores purchased their dream Victorian for $180,000. The real estate agent called it a house with character. The inspector called it a house with potential. The contractors called it their retirement plan. What began as a modest renovation quickly became a financial nightmare. Over five consecutive weeks, the Whitmores discovered five major problems in different parts of the house. Each required a different repair and came with its own outrageous bill. Help the Whitmores reconstruct when each disaster was discovered, where it occurred, what went wrong, and how much it cost.
