This and That

Hi Tupp:
The 51% rule is about taking care of yourself as priority.... oxygen mask on you first sort if thing. Both my girls are pretty good at it.
About the Bahamas cottage.... I think basic repairs and replacement of windows, doors, shutters and new cabinets will make it easier to sell the cottage quickly. There's value in the lot, but the house itself has value bc it's such a problem to get anything done on the island.
This isn't my choice to have this property. I didn't want the place anymore when we bought it than I want it now. The plan is to sell ASAP.
I'm less conflicted at this point. I do my best, and that has to be enough.
Hope and Amber, thanks for the input. It's been helpful while I try to figure out least painful options.

Lol, thank you, I have a new phrase to add to my vocabulary now :) Yes, I can see what you mean about getting the basics done before you sell on. There are so many ways that 'stuff' can tie us in knots when we just want to be free and skippy :) xx
Hopalong:
Got clarity now, Lighter!
You're only preparing it to sell.
A big PITA to do, but it doesn't represent an albatross for you.
So relieved to understand that...and courage for this tedium meanwhile.
xxoo

Hops... I'm tired just thinking about this project. I had to phone the island hardware store for a week before I could ask what supplies they carry...and don't carry. The gentleman answering the phone has what sounds like laryngitis....poor guy....and could barely talk. I finally just barged on and sort of forced him to give me answers this morning.... we really need these answers.
On a bright note, I have girls' rides to school covered for both trips at this point.
Great...just thinking about these trips makes me sleepy. Contractor has idea about putting bunks in a different bedroom, along with a hallway to make back bedroom private....we now have to walk through one to the other.....NO interior doors anywhere. It makes sense, but the job keeps getting bigger. It's not a problem, just more materials to ship. I'm always pleased and amazed by his work, so will accept and trust all will be well. It will.

Hopalong:
All WILL be well.
And you'll out-endure this tedium.
I hope it moves soon and you can get the sand out of your hair.
hugs
