    Hire a good lawyer and sue nature zen and the first landscaping company. You could also go after the first mudroom contractor and get a judgment against him but if he ghosted that’s kind of over. Worked in the legal field and this is unfortunately a major trend with contractors botching jobs and leaving them unfinished.

    I’m not tired about hearing that things have gone wrong. You’re sharing your experience, and it’s been rocky so there really isn’t any way to sugar coat if. I’m sorry you’ve had to go through this, it sounds like a major headache!!!

    Keep up the good work of showing how real it is to be a true homeowner with real expectations.

      Yes. Bamboo/wood tone hangers would give the esthetic also and functionality. Even when they’re empty they will still look appealing. I got slight anxiety when she hung that white on that hanger😅

    Raven, beautiful plans, I love the paint on your office walls! I know you have had problems in the past with getting things done right, when we see things continue to be a problem, we have change our words from bad things continue to happen, to each project I work on from now on will turn out right and beautiful. God has given you the tools to create your day, by speaking and calling things from bad to good. When we continue to water the "seed" to the situation with our words, we're calling it to come to our situation, bad or good. Have a bless day.

  • @darleengarcia5862

    My 2 cents: My suggestion for the space above the washer dryer, is to have them make a pull out board/table on both sides (or just one side and make the other a drawer or something)

    Have a carpenter make you two false drawers on top of the washer and dryer. It'll be easier then making wooden base.

    • @jeanpe1040

      Absolutely not! I agree 100% - some of these so called workers claim they can do the job but when they realize they are screwing up they disappear! It is so hard to find someone who is actually reliable and experienced. I had to tell one guy to leave my house because he was making a total mess! I do know a little about home improvement- my Dad taught me well! So I can tell immediately if they have a clue about what they’re doing! And I’m watching everything they do!!

I hardly ever comment but I really wanted to let you know that you are one hard working badass woman and you deserve all these good and beautiful things happening to you. I hope Ziya learns from you and also does super well for herself just like you did. Congratulations Raven, you are a superstar and we love you! ❤
