I think you can get them to settle and that will alleviate some of your financial worries but I think the bigger problem is how all this is going to affect your marriage. Are you really going to sell your mobile home and go live with your mom? |
Heres the thing as DH and I have discussed. He was required to provide his own tools/equipment and when the company wouldn't get a new mower to mow the common areas last spring we volunteered ours. All his tools etc were on the company truck and since he was out on FMLA and he didnt want the guys using and losing his stuff (which there is a bunch missing) he brought the truck to the house to unload it and had someone put the mower in the back and get it off. I do think that yes his boss was looking for a reason to get rid of him but DH had a legitimate reason to get his tools off the truck, they were brought to work on the truck which he used to bring home every night which is how they got on the truck in the first place. He brought the truck home the first weekend after he went off on FMLA because during the week it was being used and the guys wouldnt bring it over at lunch to let us get it unloaded, so why wait over a month to fire him? I do think some of this stems from the fact that the guys have parked it in front of our home when they are cleaning the street and it sat there for 4 hours when they were replacing the fence behind ours and our neighbors home I think maybe he saw it an assumed DH had it and he couldnt because he didnt have the keys after the first weekend he used it, he gave his keys to another guy who lost his set. He wouldn't even let DH explain himself or nothing, just said you are fired because of this and told him to leave.
Yes we are selling and going to live with my mom, but without money to fix things to pass inspection it might be awhile and any more time in the community I was born in, grew up in, planned on raising my family in and dying in is too much time.
