[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 304441, member: 1233"] Sorry to hear about the house. I would push for repair sooner if you can swing hiring someone to do it. Even if you must pay for the worker yourself. At least for the wall repairs. If the drywall is not repaired right the holes will show and bring the price down. If you could get the house done before Halloween you could get out that much sooner. Do you have a room you can make your own bedroom? Or husband's bedroom? It might be worth finding someone on craigslist, like the woman I found, and have her go through and pitch the junk and consolidate the half full boxes. At least in storage areas and public areas. It would help you reach that date sooner. Right now, with husband's packrat stuff being part of the reason for the clutter, if husband doesn't want out of the marriage then he will just refuse to go through his stuff. Conversely, for $40 or so a month you might be able to store all his stuff in a storage unit. Rent a pickup from uhaul for $19.99 and hire a teen or college student to load it and unload it while you drive the truck. Then give husband the keys and the bill paid to Christmas. If it comes back itno the house you get to pitch it in the trash. I just think the boy might get dangerous all at once, or that dad might put him up to damaging the house just so it won't sell and you won't leave him. difficult child would WANT to make you stay if you want to leave. Part of the difficult child way of thinking. It makes no sense, but difficult child's rarely make sense. [/QUOTE]
