The financial commitment to the project has been substantial. My son had already given the man over $121,000 or more,\u201d Brazle explained. <\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">She provided an additional $69,000 last year, bringing the total investment to approximately $190,000.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Communication with the builder has been problematic, according to Brazle. \u201cThis man doesn\u2019t seem to care,\u201d she said, expressing her frustration with the constant delays. \u201cJust keep on putting off, putting off, putting it off.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Adding to her concerns, Brazle revealed that the builder had told her daughter he was experiencing financial difficulties. <\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">\u201cI don\u2019t know what he used my money for, but he told my daughter he was broke. He didn\u2019t have any money.\u201d<\/p>\n<ul class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 kDvXdO font_openSans articleList\">\n<li class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__StackBase-sc-1fnzlkn-7 ecGWWE iQviKm\"\/><\/ul>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">When contacted about the project delays, the builder acknowledged past issues but expressed optimism about the current status. <\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of hiccups on this deal, but I think we\u2019re where we are right now. I\u2019m excited,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">The builder\u2019s representative on site has promised completion by the end of August 2025.
