did a flooring job out at the lake years back double wide mobile home old woman and her husband who had Alzheimer's and was bedridden, they had no children. she told me the subfloor was bad in his room. the next weekend I bought some sheets of 3/4 ply and went back and fixed it, took out the rotted particle board subfloor, and replaced it. reinstalled the carpet. She asked me how much she owed me, I told her nothing. She said home Depot must have paid me good for the first job, not even a thank you, I laughed figure she was bitter about having to take care of her husband alone. it made our day to be able to do it though and I hope my son learned something, he helped me.
Roger, to always expect the recipient of our charity to show gratitude will lead to much disappointment.
Fortunately it is enough that it makes us feel good.
