Thanks! I'm happy with the progress we've made and I feel really good about the future-it feels good to know I have a way to handle future arguments without bolting for the door.
My time has been recently monopolized by suing a contractor that was supposed to remodel our bathrooms. We spent two and a half hours at Lowes with him, picking out tubs, showers, sinks, etc and we gave him a very large advance to purchase the stuff and have it delivered to a storage unit he has. He never bought the stuff, he has about $8k of our money and now we have to start all over taking estimates from other contractors while suing the other guy and carrying on with everday life. This bathroom thing has been going on since Sept 06. Ugh!! I'm getting pretty good at knowing how to do this stuff though because I decided not to spend more money on a lawyer, I'm doing it myself.
