I hope you will be able to go...I'll keep my fingers crossed and remember you in my prayers

"it concerns the structure of my house, literally. I'm not sure I can arrange repairs, contract, payment..."

Not sure how much time you have vs leaving on the trip...

Not sure if there is anything we might be able to do to help you...just wanted to let you know that I work with a lot of venders/contractors...a lot...PM me if you have any questions.

I work in property management...done apartments and commerical office buildings (ranging from over 500 apartment units across my state to 500,000 sq ft of office space including a 25 story building). In property management we are nothing without our vendor and contractor partners.
