[QUOTE="katya02, post: 204346, member: 2884"] I know what you mean about it being hard to finish up a long remodeling job. It takes so much time and effort and everything else takes a back seat, and then once the basics are in place, the rest of your life needs attending to and the finish details slow right down. But 16 hours sounds like a couple weekends' worth (assuming not everything can be done instantly, like tile cement having to cure) so it sounds hopeful! I really liked the Plan B thing too - it was the counselors' recommendation and they do it with all the contracts they write with clients and families. Not having a Plan B is what led husband and me to cave the first time. Now I know there is one shelter in town, plus transitional housing, plus help from the mental illness program here ... I didn't have that info before and it makes all the difference. difficult child has to get the info and let the counselors know he understands it and can/will act on it - in fact they work with clients who break their contracts and keep track of them while they get services arranged. This relieves my mind so much in terms of Plan B happening! difficult child would still be responsible but wouldn't have the street as his only option (he doesn't have any local friends so no place to crash). Got to go put this ankle back up on ice. Grr. :( [/QUOTE]
