Thanks that’s very grounding insight and advice. I know it’s ultimately not worth trying to fight it but when they push me around I end up getting frustrated and emotional.

I really should have just done this. I thought about it but I wanted to trust my contractor which I am regretting.

This is really validating thank you. You touch on a fear that I have now. “What else is wrong” echoes in my mind a lot now.

This is a great way to look at it; it’s always seemed like an absolute last resort but the way you put it, it’s about getting what you need done.
