I'm willing to do this, but I feel like at least one kid is assuming I'm more frail (or whatever adjective) than I am. I'm only 73, but they act like I'm 83. In the last month, one of the kids bought an appliance bulb for the fridge. Had they asked, I have appliance bulbs, but that's not the problem. The other one was here to help clear the area where the w/d will be placed, noticed my bathroom sink drain was slow, so they took it apart to clean the stopper, and it wouldn't go back together. That was 3 days and 6 trips to hardware stores ago. Not fixed yet. Had they asked, I would've have said it's on the list, but one thing at a time please. I can only deal with one contractor at a time.
