    I agree! I have two younger brothers, one which has passed at a fairly young age, and he was especially able-bodied into landscaping and paperwork. But he never really wanted to help out his family which was pretty sad. My other brother is the same way, and as always feeling put out if my mother and I asked for any physical help. It's definitely in the way children are raised and unfortunately we had a very dysfunctional family and our father was the same way. He made a good living and he was very educated but he did not want to be hopeful so unfortunately that's what my brothers learned from him. Bill and Elizabeth, you did to a wonderful job raising your children

    @@Savannah-ed4rv OMG, I thought I was the only one! My oldest brother replaced my front porch light. I never heard so much complaining that I never, ever asked a family member to help me again. You'd think "family" would be more supportive, but its not so. From that, I learned a good lesson. Just pay someone to do the work and hope to God that a contractor doesn't rip you off and actually does a good job. Its very hard to find someone who wants to help. I've found out the hard way that most of these guys don't want to do small jobs, it doesn't pay and they want the "big" projects no matter what they tell you. I could write a book on my home owner experiences. Sad.

    We can’t do much for my father (he was the one who did it all), but he’s 71 and we all live together now after my mother passed (we bought his home). Seeing him with his grandchildren everyday, at dinner each evening, and outside all spring, summer, and fall is such a gift to us. And I suppose making sure he never has to mow a lawn, snow blow a driveway, or do the dishes is a little help too.

    Good Job Guys. One step closer to moving in. We had asbestos on a house we once owned. The edges were all chipped off like that. Luckily a neighbor has stacks of it in his shed and sold us what we needed for $1 a piece. My brother-in-laws father had the tool they used to punch the nail holes in the shingles without breaking them. After painting you couldn't tell the difference between the old and the "new"

    Bill, many years ago we were adding more piers for support underneath our home we were redoing and underpinning. My husband was under the house and told me to release the pressure on the jack. Being a 21 year old I just turned the release valve all at once. Cracked an inside wall and scared my husband as it sounded like the house was falling. After that he taught me how to use and release the jack properly. We lived in and worked on that house for 39 yrs before retiring and moving to the mountains. Good yrs, but hard yrs. He was able to live here for 10yrs before passing 2yrs ago without always having to repair something. That 1st home was built in 1900. This home 1998. He loved living here.
