Hello BAP, Sun, and Duit !
I am here.
My life has been rather turned upside down the past year and things have only gotten more compounded by events.
My father has just passed in July the first anniversary of my mother's passing and he is a dementia patient. He no longer can live alone. The caregiver we the kids did not hire stole him blind until I caught on to her and fired her. She is under criminal investigation now.
In the meantime we have moved him in with my brother who lives near me.
I have to oversee all finances and decisions and now I have a very large house which desperately needs work done on the inside to be readied for sale and nobody to help.
I have to do it ALL literally and now I have high blood pressure and am a basket of frayed nerves on medication.
I have decided to get bids and contract the inside work to get it prepped for sale, although I am not going to be as exotic as the realtor wants.
SOmeone else can decide what color hardwood floors they want and pay for them. I am putting down new carpeting, all new interior six panel doors, removing rooms full of wallpaper and painting them all fresh as well as remodeling one bathroom and the kitchen floor will get new type Tile Planks that look like wood.
I have the exterior being painted and a new entry door system coming soon.
That is enough. This is a 3,000 sq. ft. home in an upscale neighborhood on the other side of the city.
Great to have siblings who do not help, call, or anything else but want their share of the inheritance for doing nothing.
As you can tell, I am frustrated to the point of breaking. My own work is suffering as a consequence.
I know ArVee's father was very ill and in a different city. Beyond that I do not know what has happened. I have emailed him but not gotten a response.
My congratulations to you guys for staying with it.
I am envious and proud of you all.
I am hoping to sell this house by Spring next year.
AFTER that happens, I MAY be able to relax a little.
In the meantime, I need to close some very large business deals I have been working on and generate a few more so I am will be out of town next week a lot.
These are quarter million dollar plus deals so they are significant.
I am watching you guys though. Just being quiet.
Hope you all are doing okay in your lives....
My best to you,
micro....
