Easing off the watering should help the problem.

I think…make the screens yourself is the best option. Easy to do, a skill you will use many times over in your life.

Screens also keep out annoying cat, which recalcitrant daughter owns, so I LOVE screens.

Hope you have a good night’s sleep.

I think you should “sell” your idea. Come up with all the facts and figures, and explain what YOU think is best. This would be a good exercise for you to do for yourself…just to make sure you know what YOU want.

Perhaps you could build a house and just sell it.

My Uni daughter lives in a college on campus. This costs me around $285 per week. She gets full board, and her room is cleaned once a week and sheets changed once a fortnight.

Internet is extra, as is phonecalls. She also has a phone in her room.

Just thought this might help you, Dannyboy, with your costings.

You should find out if someone wants to remove the palm and relocate it. Depending on what sort of palm it is, they can be worth big bucks.

Not sure who does this, perhaps a google search.

Palms have a small rootball, so can be dug up.

Something for you to think about.

Cant imagine it being a fire risk.

Stop all this bickering and DEAL with the problem, find a SOLUTION and get on with your life.

That will get your ideas flowing, seeing what is actually for sale.

I am a newcomer, as well, so no expert,yet.

How about you look at other properties, before you make your decision to buy ? Look at the figures for them, and that will help you in making your decision.

You can still spend time with your girls, send them emails, gifts, to show you are thinking of them. Make coming home a special treat, for them to plan for and get excited about. Talk to each one idividually and ask them questions about their interests.

Create happy memories.

Of coarse you must do the same with your wife.
