Mike and Eddie -- two contractors -- came by and we discussed the work I want on the exterior of the home. Mike is Eddie's boss and he is extremely knowledgeable about home repair. It can be done relatively quickly and for an excellent price. I'm absolutely thrilled and so, so happy...the only "obstacle" will be my husband who can squash the whole thing and make me very upset.
The work includes:
Power-washing brick, fence, deck
Completing deck
Staining fence and deck
Replacing/repairing/painting bad gutters
Repainting trim
Sealing foundation and painting it
Fixing broken basement window
Misc. yard work (tree trimming, mulching, weeding, cleaning bricks, etc.)
I will let Michael do the negotiating as it comes to price. Obviously, this can be done for less than $5,000, which I roughly have in my account. Mike The Contractor also said I can pay in installments, if that made it easier for us. Fingers crossed my husband says okay.
I hope my husband understands how important this is to my recovery. A clean, organized exterior is just as important as an interior. We need help -- we are over our heads and people are here ready to assist, Mom's money is a life-saver for me and the check was for me to use as I wanted -- which for me, is the exterior work with Mike the Contractor. I am praying my husband allows this work begin...he says he wants me better sooner rather than later. Well, this would definitely propel me in that direction.
I don't want to fight, I don't want to get sick and hospitalized over Michael's negotiating. Does he know that makes me ill sometimes? I just want to be well. And happy. Please Michael. let us go forward with this.
