[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 499708, member: 11791"] DJ... I can't post the specific details on-forum, let me know if you want more than this... this is from personal experience. This is a TOTALLY different situation, but... something to think about. When land is re-zoned or development rules change, there is often a huge battle. And usually, the developer wins. The people who lose the least, are the ones who, in addition to making their displeasure known (they NEVER agree with this development), recognize that it is going to happen anyway... and start fighting, early, for the things that make the situation "survivable". In property terms, that means upgrades to the development, more add-ons thrown in for the community, and so on... so that at least if they want to sell out, the new development doesn't kill them on property values. While there is NO way this is fair, and NO way that it should have to go this way... Maybe you need to start a list, and start fighting for the things YOU need to survive... and you need them NOW. Before Buck arrives, or as part of his move-in. Like - him and Tony having to clean out that other room [I]to your approval level[/I]. Maybe a mini-fridge in your room. Definitely a curfew - times when botherboy has to be invisible... Kitchen rules (allowed to scrub the floor, do the dishes... but NOT allowed to cook, not allowed to touch anything in the fridge. Or maybe, the "section off the house" idea... These are just dumb ideas to get you thinking... Something, anything... fight for what it takes for YOU to survive. Make it as extreme as you need to... but you are still "allowing" Tony to let Buck come... on YOUR terms. If you need two weeks to put it together (i.e. for Tony to put it together...) then Buck needs to go to a shelter or wherever else, until things are ready. Just another item from the "stupid idea" bin. [/QUOTE]
