I didn't cancel and he came and gave an estimate to fix the issue. He seemed very nice and only went into the basement, not the house. I have to call and get on the schedule and have them order the parts, and then they can come out to fix it in about a week. Now I will have to go on a major clean up in case he needs to get inside.

I doubt he will need to come inside. I read your other thread, and I'm so happy that he has turned out to be a nice easy-going guy. Plus a lower-than-expected estimate! Things are finally going your way. Congratz on sticking to it, making the call, and keeping the appointment. Now make that next call... and in no time, this ordeal will be all over and you can b r e a t h e .....

GRRR!!! WARNING DO NOT READ IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO SEE AN UGLY, JEALOUS VENT.
It always hits me on the way home from somewhere!!!! I HATE GOING HOME!!! I look at all the homes on the way, and imagine the wonderful, NORMAL people inside. On their way home to a great dinner, a nice relaxed evening, maybe a nice hot shower or bath before bed. Then the tears come, and I tell myself I HATE THEM!!!!! Then more tears because I shouldn't hate them, they are normal, they didn't do anything to me, they didn't cause where I am. I DID, and I DO everyday that I don't change it. Its too big to change or fix its just too big and i want to run away and start somewhere clean and empty its too overwhelming and i cant deal with all the pushing and pulling me in different directions everyone wanting me to do something else that takes me away from the house..but then i go because i dont want to be there either.

I often feel the same way. Now when I am driving home from work, and at this time of year it is starting to get darker earlier and people have their inside lights on and curtains open\shades up, I see all the nice normal activities going on. Dining room lights on for dinner, tvs on in the living room. It is a life I had but seems very far out of reach at the moment. BUT I will get back there. We both will.

HFH most people in their so called normal houses have dysfunction of some sort. And even those who are normal still have ups and downs. Into every normal life there is happiness and sadness.
Someone is envying you right now for the same reasons you are envying them. Normal is a relative term that describes no one perfectly.
I look badly put together but I am a good mother and my house is somewhat clean. I envy those who can be put together. I wish I knew how to apply make-up. I was in an orphanage/ reform school for one while even though I had a mother and father.
He left and never thought about me again and she gave me to the state so I could get medical care she couldn't provide. I envied normal families where no one had illnesses they couldn't treat with antibiotics or a shot. They didn't separate their families for being sick.
Their boyfriends weren't taken from school and put on death row and all contact cut off by parent. I loved him...dysfunctional I know but we looked normal. My house was spotless and everybody thought we were perfect.
My point is to not waste those tears because nobody has the ideal life! It just seems that way.
One day you will have a perfect life for YOU not for anybody else and you will be envied for it!!
That being said its okay to be envious. I would never deny someone how they feel.

sue5000 it sounds bad but wasn't as bad as it seems...I learned a lot of criminal activity true but I got medical care I needed. Missed boyfriend deeply but I would make same decision for my daughter...I will private chat you later on nature of crimes he committed. He was always loving and gentle with me. I still lack skills most girls learn from their mothers but I have other skills...I can survive anything!!!

HFH ~ It's good to see you posting again, even though you're going I've been thinking about you and wondering how things worked out with that nice plumber. Did he get everything fixed for you, I hope?
