Kathy, I have a leak between the sunroom and the house. Fortunately it leaks into the sunroom and not the dining room.
I got quotes to have it fixed. I even hired someone to fix it. It didn't work.
Meanwhile, Rob is a roofer. For the last year or so he's said, "I'll do it, Mom."
Yeah, right, says I (to myself, remembering the destruction from his attempts to "fix things" in the past)....
But I finally caved..........and you know what? KNOCK ON WOOD..........by George, I think he fixed the dang thing! KNOCK ON WOOD!
My point, of course, is to some day give her a chance. lol- note, I said *some day* ---it took me over a year to give Rob that chance.
