Fucking. People. Give someone MONTHS of notice that you need ONE thing done. ONE THING. And they will disappoint you. Every. Time.
Brother. Just asked him to wash my Mom's house before I drive 5 hours south JUST to paint it. Just gave me a laundry list of excuses why he can't do what I asked him to do MONTHS ago. He lives within 7 miles of my Mom's house. I live 5 hours away. He can't take a DAY to pressure wash the house BEFORE I go down there to paint it in two weeks. Now he's telling me how her room is caving in.
AND THEN! The excuses for what else is wrong with this and that about how painting isn't much help with all the OTHER issues with the house. Even though last time I was there the paint on the walls was SO WORE AWAY that I saw bare wood and the nerve that "well if you would just buy a $36 box of shingles".
Mother has known about the roof for years apparently, even had an estimate done. $600-800 about three years ago. In that time she couldn't put away that money to get this shit done. *sign*
Goodbye student loan.

Its why I stopped doing it. Being family doesn't make me a doormat.
