This morning I have woke up with my heart in my mouth, because of the building work we are going to have via a grant, I am so scared its going to go over the money the council will pay because we have no savings, no one that will help not even a credit card.  We wouldnt get one anyway at the moment.  I am making myself ill over it.  I hate being in the house, but, I am stuck here because of a disabled daughter who cannot be left, I cant work, because of her and she is getting worse.  I am just so scared. I've never been in a house where there was pebble dashing was being done.

Gentle empathy, Ruth. I have experience as a construction contractor and I still find myself tied in jittery knots when I am the one hiring the contractors to work on my personal properties. There is so-o-o-o much that can go wrong with any project. Even the projects which go as smoothly as can be expected remain a major inconvenience. There's nothing quite like the smell of hot asphalt in the morning. . . Yummy! Then we get to the joys of feet stomping over your head. . .

We're here for you, Ruth. Vent freely. Vent often.

Ruth, for me, I have learned to say that this is the amount I have. If you cannot bring it under that amount, do not agree to do it. My townhouse has had reroofing twice, and inspections after hail storms. Very traumatic for me to have the noise over my head. We shall keep you and yours in prayer and calming, comforting hugs.

I don't think it hurts to reiterate how much your budget is and to tell them not to exceed it I would find a way to even record it being said by you to the person in charge if that will bring you any peace at least it will be proof in court that it was said. Please rest easy.
