True. It would be a good idea for her to find a decent handyman, make

him a pot roast, maybe.



If the house was a gift / inheritance I would take, fix it and move.



I wish she would follow-up on some threads so we know what was fixed

and what was not - fence , trees out front, etc. ... just sayin'



This reminds me of the movie



"The Money Pit is a 1986 comedy film, directed by Richard Benjamin and

starring Tom Hanks and Shelley Long as a couple who attempt to

renovate a recently purchased house."

Thanks a lot for your reply. Most of my problems got fixed, thanks for all advices I have got from this group and we have been learning a lot. I do not mind to hire people but do they really make it right? Many advices I got it from here, no any contractors/handymen mentioned to me when we asked them to come over and give us an estimate!

Thanks a lot.
