The journey into the abyss of no return

I'm reminded of a joke...

She told the judge in divorce court "He keeps a goat in the bedroom, and I can't stand the smell anymore!"

"Why don't you open the window?"

"What? And let my chickens get out?"

If you make it a loan have him sign a legal note. Then put a workman's lien on the house/property. That way if he does sell the property, you will get paid back because the escrow company and title insurance will make him settle the lien before escrow closes. Otherwise adios to your money. He sounds like the sort of *#*! that would sell and leave you unpaid.

One thing... okay, be a "good samaritan" and get them in the house... BUT.... what about the animals and all that they don't need and probably cannot afford to feed??? When does baling out stupid people stop????

I can’t understand people who do not provide for their animals. These poor creatures are going to suffer.

You have got to be a saint.... it will be under roof and they will not realize just what it took to do it... or appreciate it either...

Totally agree with @Ridgetop ... make it a loan, don't have to put in a specific repayment date if you don't want to.... make it a few years down the road... but totally agree with the lien against the property if they do sell it, at least you will get your money back if not the labor..... it isn't being small or petty... that is good business, and more than fair to them.... and to you and your wife both...

I hope you can relax and get the rest you need. I know how hard that can be when you can see things that need to be done!

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

He, alone, has worn you out - both physically and emotionally. Walk away.

 

[SageHill]

Uh yeah. We so often put ourselves at the end of the line .
Sorry that all happened. Hopefully some days off will help. Happy Thanksgiving - it's people like you that keep us all going.

 

[Baymule]

Get some rest over the next few days. Clear your head, then either finish what you set out to do or tell him to ef off.

Waiting on tractor parts....chilly 31* but sunny out. I'm inside warming. Truck on jacks, front wheels off, parts expected Monday showing in transit, and expect on time. Good. I need both running. Tractor injectors, so not long install time.

Expecting mid 20s tonight -- these are our Jan/Feb temps.

Wow, I had no idea that drill stem had gone up so much. It’s doubled in price, but that’s to be expected.
