Hi Courts, I've been following your posts for the last 8 days or so. I haven't read your entire sitch. Did you discuss this yet?

If you haven't then, yeah, it was too wordy. This is probably the best way to handle it: "I need X amount of money by X." Then if he asks you bring up your shopping list.

It's good he's paying for everything. On the fairness part... not sure. Then again you don't want to make everything too easy on him. Set him small tasks to accomplish that he's capable of. E.g. Batteries and sled. Choose one he's capable and see if he does it.

And now some feedback on you. I think you've been doing great the last 11 days. I know it's not easy and from what I can see you're getting the hang of it. So much so that its going to become second nature for you. I'm impressed.
