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."



Some of you guys can be a real downer when she's still in the middle

of fixing things. Are you trying to break her spirit? You don't

know what the rest of the house looks like, what she paid, or how much

money she has. I've long noticed in this group and others that some

people write like everything can be fixed with money and everyone has

enough money to do so. It's not true. Many people have to put up

with things far less than perfect because they don't have as much

money as others do.

Thanks a lot Micky, really appreciate it.
