WHAT YA GOT SWAP Chat Thread

[Penny Hen]

I have been so stressed lately.

I feel so sick the past few days...

my BF has been wonderful.

but he thinks i am sick now because i had to spend 4hrs with my ex. x.x
and that stressed me out. he was here to spend time with my daughter and the baby.
of course i "had" to be arround too......... sigh....... and fed him dinner........... etc........
so it was a very long 4 hrs............

and i could not spend it with my dad..........
and got a text later from my ex..............
stating that he visited "dad" for the both of us. x.x why dont he drive to his own fathers grave and visit him??????
sigh..........
so i did go and visit my dad monday. it has been raining so much that i dont want to stand over my dads grave in downpouring rain. sigh. but i miss him terribly. so that is weighing heavily on my mind.

and the finances....... my daughter asked me when the trash man comes. i was like normally today, but i have not been able to afford the bill. x.x so i told her that i will try to pay it this week and hopefully they will come get it next week.

rawr. just a rough patch.

glad i can talk to all my friends here.

Take you some extra vitamin C and B-complex. It will boost your immune system and give you energy to fight the blahs.

Mkay I just found a Hulu gift card that my sister gave me for christmas. We have really bad internet and can't stream video, so we cancelled our Hulu.
It's a 3-month subscription, retail price was $23.97. Any interest in a side swap for this? I need it gone before my sister comes to visit

No eggs at this time my girls are still too little. I have wool both raw and washed and in rovings for spinning. I am currently not trading for eggs because I have promised not to hatch anymore until I get more pens up. Some of the wool is dyed some isn't and some of it is brown naturally.

I need some advise. Does anyone or anyone's husband/ boyfriend / etc do remodeling / trim / whatever work? Dbf and I found a place to live. It needs to be finished. By finished I mean taped mudded new porch hang cabinets carpet/ flooring, painting not sure what else. The people are supplying the items to fix it and we fix it. What should I ask off rent? Our rent will be 400 a month. We have to fix it before we move in. Which means we have like 5 days. But I don't know what to ask in return. Should I ask for 2 or 3 months rent free? This is a 2 bedroom apartment iN a barn. It has 1 bath. I am suppose to talk to her tomorrow but I have no idea what even say. The porch that is going to be done is 2 story's high. We have to clean it out to. Please I need some help. And I wanted to ask other people and get some help.

I wouldn't do it. They shouldn't be asking someone to do a 2 story porch like that. There are many safety codes that Tom Shoe doesn't know about. They need a contractor for that, or someone who is experienced and up on codes. We just did a house with similar issues. It's not easy work. I don't see you being able to do it as an unexperienced pair of two in five days.

I agree with Bettacreek that is way too much to accomplish in 5 days. You might be able to get the interior work done in 5 days but a 2 story porch itself is a 5 day job itself for 2 experienced people. If you don't support and mount the porch firmly to the barn it could fall under your weight and kill or maim you. Now if they will agree to let you do the inside in 5 days and then take a two or three weeks to carefully FOLLOW A SPECIFIC PLAN OF CONSTRUCTION that a real carpenter approves as a solid structure and you are decent at basic carpentry, then I'd go with it. But know that a porch like that alone is at least a $1000 dollar in labor job. It is unreasonable to think that you can do all of this in 5 days. Cleaning it $100. Carpet/Flooring $300. Hanging cabinets $100. Painting, at least $100/room.

You can always tell them that you can do it quick or you can do it right. But don't budge on the two story porch. That has to be right or someone will get seriously hurt.

I never said we didn't have exsperience. Dbf has built for nearly half his life. Also the porch is not 2 story's. Let me try to explain it better it will have a deck built where the apartment is and steps down. Does that help? Also we have to be out of here in 5 days.

Hey guys. So I got a little carried away, and am making a ton of chocolates this weekend... So if anyone is interested in swapping for a box of chocolates PM me.
I will be making:
Cherry cordials
Coconut cremes
Mocha truffles
Peanut butter cups
A snickers type chocolate
Pecan praline chocolates
And maybe more if I think of any.
