Family

[qos]

My sister and her fiance were just at the house for her to pick up her antique chair (cross another item off my to-do list!).

He noticed -- how could he not? -- the holes that are still in my ceiling and walls from the plumbing project. He's volunteered to come back next weekend and tape and mud and patch the holes, if I provide the materials.

"That's what family is for," he said simply.

And yes, I have reason to believe he's better at this than the "upstairs family" associates who have been brought in. And if I'm wrong, I'll ask him to stop after the first patch.

Sounds promising.

Trust me he is.

That's nice to know. :-)

Just for future reference ... pathdancer and I both know how to install and patch drywall. That's what friends are for, too.

That's a very gracious offer.

But how could I presume to ask either of you for help when I've never once responded to any of your calls for assistance?
