Someone small is peeking in my window.
Wildlife or one of the little girls from next door.

Neither - it is one of the Fairies at the bottom of her garden.

Wow! There's a fairy who lives in MY garden, too!

Hi Jane!

In all, I'm pretty disappointed and depressed about the house at this point. I'm very sorry I even tried to get it fixed up. It had to be done but I think I should have just tried to sell it as is and moved away from it.

Jane · « **Reply #272 on:** February 09, 2009, 04:39:41 PM »

I read credit card companies have made adjustments in their lending amounts based on where purchases were made. Of course they don't tell you which stores are red tagged.

Are you sure it isn't just a mirror?

DR Danise I might have given that advice a couple of years ago, in today's market I don't know. Hang in there, this is a typical problem. They make it sound easier so you will go ahead & do the work. And maybe the contractor really thought with two teams he could get it done.

DAW · « **Reply #276 on:** February 09, 2009, 04:42:03 PM »

DR Danise - I know it's discouraging, but I don't think you will feel that way when it's finally done.

Danise · « **Reply #277 on:** February 09, 2009, 04:43:07 PM »

I think I told you guys that when I was growing up I had a personal fairy (who was my Dad's friend). She brought marshmellow ice cream cones that came (Magicly, of course) out of my ears.

I would beg him to ask her for them.

Jane · « **Reply #278 on:** February 09, 2009, 04:43:28 PM »

Danise I agree with DAW. You are bound to love it!

Danise · « **Reply #279 on:** February 09, 2009, 04:45:16 PM »

I hope I do feel better about later. I'm just not seeing any progress and I'm scared to death the guy might walk away and it won't be finished even though he is licensed and bonded.

I just won't feel good about until I'm back in my own home.

Is it not that far a stretch from your "Bonus Club" tracked food history to being denied health insurance because you purchase, for example, too much red meat?

Yeah - it is a stretch.

By the same logic, they could gather up your restaurant receipts. For one thing, red meat purchase does not equate to consumption - maybe it's for a lucky dog.

If the Insurance Companies want to deny coverage based on diet or habits (tobacco/alcohol) it is just as easy to gather "witness" reports that prove consumption.

I don't think anyone really relaxes until the work is completed. And stay calm with the contractor. You don't want to upset him

Danise · « **Reply #282 on:** February 09, 2009, 04:47:52 PM »

Still no windows, no roof, the porch isn't done, no kitchen sink, stove, heck walls for that matter. No AC/Heat ductwork or unit. Half wired, not the way I asked either, no new fuse box. No tile on the floors.

Sigh.

One week from tomorrow and Sheena will be in the kennel for her month. He's piddled 3 weeks away.

I'd read articles (opinions?) about this possibility, but has there been any evidence that it's actually being used in this way?

Oh, I'm not saying it has happened. But I can see it happening fairly easily.

Does your contract penalize him if he goes beyond the promised date?

No. I didn't know to put that in there. He seemed to understand that I couldn't live with Thelma and have Sheena.

That isn't necessarily a bad thing. If he were to lose too much he might be more inclined to walk away. He still wants to get paid so I expect he will finish.

Jane · « **Reply #294 on:** February 09, 2009, 04:58:58 PM »

DR Danise, I got it. Tell your contractor you and Sheena will be homeless at the end of the month & need to move in with him.

Danise · « **Reply #295 on:** February 09, 2009, 04:59:06 PM »

Well, I have to go. I want to see the Prez speech. Maybe he's going to say we will all get a big fat stimules check! Yum! (yeah, right).

Hugs to you all!

Well, our contractor had "completed" most of the work on our house - the only problem was he bounced checks on all of the sub-contractors, and had let his insurance expire; unfortunately we had given him some progress payments based on work completed and didn't know about the bouncing checks. Fortunately, the "lower/slower" subs didn't move fast enough to get mechanic liens against the property. We did end up having to pay some of the subs because we needed them to finish up some jobs. The contractor walked because the amount we still owed him was less than it would have cost him to finish the job.
