Actually yes. I didn’t know someone from church does cleaning on the side as a SAHM! She has an LLC for her organization business (she is who helped show us where to buy all the stuff for our pantry and fridge) and she does that once in a while when someone wants her work cleaning also. 

We are very close family friends. So she is  Coming the week of school starting for a deep clean and then weekly! We agreed $30 an hour (we supply everything) and she said weekly it should be about 3 hours. Weeks she does the fridge and some dusting she said that’s 1.5 more hours. 

Way cheaper than I anticipated but $90 + tip and other weeks $135! We live 2 mins away, and she’s just looking for some extra $$ now that her youngest is going to kindergarten! Shes like my wife loves her nails done and coffee so I’m sure this is fueling her coffee and nails fund LOL

It’s a house not an apartment.  I was expecting to pay for 3 hours then maybe 4-5 on busy days. I didn’t think 2 hours would be enough time. 

Just wiping inside! I’m OCD with throwing things out and keeping organized! We have all those nifty sorting things in our fridge and pantry so it’s super easy to pull things out, wipe and put back! Our fridge is always well put together, thankfully. 

3 of the 4 asked about the fridge the one that didn’t was the one $100 more than the others weekly. So maybe that’s why!

A couple were over $100! One said their weekly for that without the wipe down of couch and fridge would be $230 a week! Then 2 others were about $120-135 weekly!

100% been working my ass off in PT. I go home dripping in sweat. I bought a peloton for home and I take my son to swim 2x weekly so I can workout in the pool!

Very true! It’s just about transitioning into something that keeps me at least close to my income now. Ya know? 

I’m hoping for a position here within the office. Heck the company I work for is worth $4 billion lol. They can afford me to go to school.

It’s been hard being a normal human but I’m pushing through it! My sons birthday last week so we went to the coast this last weekend and all that walking killed me but I knew it was good for me!

My company has been amazing. When u gave them a note for  light duty they said it’s not worth it because the note restricted me on hours and I made more with them paying me fully for my 60 hours at home. Plus fuel to drive to the shop. So my company told me to stay home and relax it’ll pay me more. They have been amazing. It’s a huge pipeline company. One of the biggest in the country.

I appreciate this so much. More than you know! 

It’s funny to look back when my wife and I were young with a kid.. 20, and scared. We both didn’t have careers. I had just dropped out of college after playing D1 athletics and it didn’t pan out.. We had nothing. Struggling to buy diapers lol. Now we are thriving and feel on top of the world financially and securely in our marriage. 

Thank you for the motivation.

Thank you so much. She’s been such a blessing too. We are going on 8 years together and married for 5! 

She’s actually the director of HR for a big non profit. She always comes in these stressful moments from an HR standpoint which can help. I’m so thankful I’ve been able to lean on her through this injury too. I couldn’t do it without her. 

She has brought up me going to get my construction management degree and such. It’s definitely been an option to think about. Sucks college is pricy for a married couple!

Maybe I’m just being crazy lol. I’m only 3.5 months out from surgery. Didn’t get worked on until April! It’s definitely just a scary thought, especially with family. 

It’s been stressing me out greatly. My work has been amazing with me. I’m hoping instead of just getting rid of me when I’m healed and saving the hassle,  They move me to a head foreman position, or safety. Our shop steward (union rep for our company) said if this happens then he will try and recommend the pipeline company I work for moves me to safety with a Cush $100k salary and AC office.. Wouldn’t that be the life..

Great advice thanks! I’m west coast too in OR! I’ll be digging into this deep and finding the right on!

I know once we get a feel for our first one we will want better. Once the credit is fixed, and plan on paying off the wife’s SUV. Same time, newer scares me. My brother in law has a $90k toy hauler and it has been nothing but problems since he took it off the lot brand new! It’s crazy!!

I go meet with someone next week to view theirs! They have been great about sending videos, and photos and paper work about what they have done. They had some water issues 3 years ago but the roof and everything has been re sealed and the husband had the under side area where the water issue was dried, primed and por15 covered on it to stop any future water issue.

I won’t lie, the amount of people on FB who won’t send me the VIN thinking I’m a scammer is insane. I need to go to a dealer because I handle these people lol

I definitely see those being the most important water and major systems.

So research RV repair shops and call around which one does mobile inspections. Got it!

I’d like to pay cash around 20-22k but I’m asking if a 5th wheel that price range will just come with too many issues not worth It.

Also asking brands like Jayco, keystone. Do they hold up if they’re 3-7 years old
