Mh, my father, and my house will be the death of me

[Bernadine]

The pipes running to our washing machine leaked into the drywall.  Fine, we were going to reconfigure the space anyway.  Except when we really started measuring and figuring it out, it would be a much bigger reno than we want to do.  So fine, we're moving the washer and dryer to the basement.  Except the only place they fit has a door next to it, which will need to be moved.  Oh, and while we're down there, we find that our well tank gauge is leaking, oh, and so is our hot water heater.  So both need to be replaced.  Oh, and two ceiling lights aren't working, so we need to check the electric too.

H and my dad will be doing the work.  My dad is a super handy perfectionist.  H is a total half-asser.  Dad thinks everything needs to be done the right way, h just wants to throw it together with the least amount of work possible.

This is exactly how I'd describe my H and my father.

Which is why we have decided to hire professional help when we gut our bathroom next month.

But, Godspeed... Don't die!

I would make it very clear that they will each, respectively, receive ALL of the pregnancy rage, if you have to hear even the quietest whisper of a complaint/gripe about the other.

Good luck!

My condolences, that sounds awful. My dad is like that too. He hired some guys to do the framing of his deck, after they were done (and paid) he realized it wasn't up to his standards so he redid the whole thing. Ugh.

It's like the Home Reno version of If You Give a Mouse a Cookie....

Good luck, friend!
