Good Evening, we have had an incident come up in the last few days that will mean some real inconveniences, added expenses, as well as blessings in disguise.
The upstairs bathroom began to leak into the wall space and the bedroom ceiling below got a big bubble which leaked quite a bit.
Long story short, insurance will cover some of the repairs. We hope they will agree to replace flooring along with the ceiling and wall repairs.
We have been talking of remodeling for a very long time, but my husband really does not want the inconvenience of it all. But things really need to be done. Our house is 45+ years, we have lived here 29 and we have not done much unless something needs to be repaired.
Well, it seems that God began our remodeling for us (the up side of this situation). Please pray that my husband will be willing to go all the way to do all that needs to be done on the ground level after this insurance job is completed. I received a sweet inheritance when my Mom passed 18 months ago. We banked it. I told my husband today that Mom would want us to invest it in the house because it isn't making much money in the bank and investing it into one's home helps the sale price to be more than what we would get with it in its present state.
Anyway, Not only is it really hard for him to spend money on big things anyway, but he hates things to be in disarray. It stresses him out and he can become really grouchy. Please pray for each of us as we go through this problem. And pray for him to realize that other people have much worse things happen, like a fire, or significant flood.
Lord Jesus I want to join in asking for your help in this situation and for Gigi's husband for peace and encouragement for him. Thank you for the provision through the inheritance. May you go before them and may they follow your will as you order their steps.
I'll pray this doesn't cause too much dissention. I wanted to share that my mom finally started discussion with my dad on getting the ducts cleaned out and I plan to ask my friend in a week when he gets back from vacation to give me the name of the company he heard about who can do the job relatively inexpensively.
My mom also was able to sleep the best she had in months (of course crediting herself for a special back support and specific stretching exercises and a makeshift ankle brace). I am sure your prayers helped in these things! I'm glad you were able to pray for me before this crisis started blossoming on your end.
Your husband should see you are a godly woman no matter what. I will also ask God to bring the right people to give him some impetus in the right direction.
Yes, he does see me that way, as I know he is a godly man. We still have to deal with the differences in our personalities as all married couples do. We have had only rare occasions where we were really at odds in 44 years. Our partnership has been blessed over the years.
I am glad to hear that your mom has agreed to the hvac clean. We need to do that, too-never been done yet. We did redo the crawl space a couple years ago and need to redo the attic spaces as well as the hvac clean out. With my reactive airways, it would be very helpful for this to be done. I am sensitive to dust, mold and mildew. We have a hepa filter on our furnace, which helps.
It would be good for your parents' health to have this done soon. I continue to pray for God's interventions to come quickly for your needs and for your parents' needs as well. Lots for you to prayerfully consider, Richard, may the Holy Spirit guide both you and influence your parents, too.
Keep me posted. It is good to have a friend in you.
Yes, I am praying for your husband to realize that your house has to be updated. To keep all things working fine. Check the house once a year for maintenance. Everything you said I agree.
Heavenly Father, bless Gigi's husband with wisdom and knowledge on money. Help him understand that certain things must be done concerning money. Amen
I know he knows that we need to get going on this remodel. We talked more today and got more info from the insurance company-good news. So, if they pay for the damage from the leak that would be half of our downstairs that will be redone on the insurance companies dime. This would mean that the cost to us to do the remainder would be much less than if we were to pay for the whole downstairs remodel. The two upstairs bathrooms have wall repair, new paint, and new flooring as they got damaged, too. So that would leave us with less to remodel upstairs, too. We need to replace carpet in the bedrooms and hall, paint, and replace the tub surround and shower pan and surround upstairs. Maybe all will get done! it would be great to have this all done in one full swoop.
Thanks for your prayers. I told my husband that God began our remodel for us. He laughed.
