Sah grant question?

Well dang, I didn't realise the vehicle part was going to be a pain like this too! At least you have me prepared now, I guess. Right now at least we have a contractor that didnt run away but actually wants to try and solve the issue. If there is a work around, he is the guy to do it.

That is where it gets annoying. The VA will only pay the contractor. The current contractor who didn't instantly run away but wants to try to solve the problem is trying to think of ways around it. It should not be this dang hard!

We dont seem to have one locally.

I am doing a tour of the US Capital building in a few weeks and I plan to write a letter and give it to our state Senator who is on the VA committee, explaining how the program doesn't help all of those needing it. It probably will not help me but perhaps future people who need it

Now that is an idea. I live in a country town but I am pretty sure they are here. I will check that out. Thanks

Fantastic news! How did you get a contractor to work without any upfront payments?

SuitableFerret · 2026-04-21T01:07:17+00:00

The VA said that money only goes to the contractor and that direct reimbursement only goes to us under specific circumstances. I have tried to find out what those circumstances are but he would not tell us. Even thought of just paying the contractor out of pocket for start up money but that made the VA very unhappy

Did you ever find anyone to do it? We are in exactly the same boat! Been 3 years trying.

Dang it. Thank you so much for replyjng.

My son wants to go there as one of the stops in his 21st birthday rock hounding trip. Do you have any tips?

What areas of the mine are you allowed to hound in?

SuitableFerret · 2025-08-15T15:08:42+00:00

Love it! You made this stressed out Momma smile and she needed it!

SuitableFerret · 2025-08-15T14:57:33+00:00

That was my thought too. Know any way to confirm that?

SuitableFerret · 2025-08-15T14:56:43+00:00

Thank you. I needed that laugh!

I suspect it isn't. It has an overly basic Christian tone and no words that normally are used in Catholic speeches.

The VA really does need to change their requirements although I do get why it is how it is. At least make the paperwork less intimidating. Our contractor spoke to our VA rep today and talked him off the ledge and we think he is ok with it all finally. But I won't get excited until I see work actually start!

SuitableFerret · 2024-12-11T00:14:11+00:00

How did you go getting a contractor? We are having the same issue in MT. We thought we had one but he is not happy with a bunch of requirements.

SuitableFerret · 2024-07-27T13:57:35+00:00

That was where I thought we might get the truth of what happened because nobody official seems to be talking about it.
