To ask you to guess the outcome of this scenari?

[ShutterNutBosh]

An inconvenient and ugly rectification DIY job at our renovated home (5 occupants) has been outstanding for about 3 years.

Person A is holding an event there in 3 weeks, it would be ideal if it's sorted by then.

Earlier this week Person B (me 😉) incentivised the other 4 folk to get the job done and suggested Sunday morning as ideal.

Person A and C gladly agreed, looking forward to some cash reward.

Person D will kindly do it for free and is very experienced in this DIY area as it is part of their job role. I reiterated it was paid, but appreciated the kind sentiment.

Person E agreed that it was ideal, looks forward to the job finally getting done and has all the resources needed in the workshop, so are pleased no financial outlay needed.

It's 3pm on Sunday, I'm at work, I left the house before ACD were out of bed.

AIBU to ask if you can guess the outcome of this?

Assuming ACD are teen or young adult children, and E is your partner, it’ll not be done. Really curious what the job is.

You got home to find the job done and they handed you a glass of champagne to celebrate???

They haven’t started yet.

It either won't be done or Person E will be dictating who can use what tool and interfering on a grand scale whilst annoying A,C,D to the point it will only get half done but everyone is angry.

the job has not been - and will not be - started.

D was ready to stay at 9 am but have yo trying to get A&C up and motivated.

A is having a tantrum because their event is “ruined”

C is now ready but blaming D for giving up and going out for day.

E is annoyed with everyone but turns out they didn’t actually have the right stuff anyway.

A&C still want paying.

A is a teenager and having a birthday party in three weeks.
C - another teenager

B - mum.

D - young adult - fits into his profession

E - husband

No work has been done, or they’ve spent all morning planning, going to diy store to get bits etc

Like others assuming this is family.

They haven't even started yet and it's unlikely they will today

Yip.

Nothing has been started.

I'd made a decision that after they'd all enthusiastically agreed, that my involvement was over. And here we are, nothing achieved.

So frustrating being the Director of Operations by default.

Yes to all the guesses of who these folk are, though Person D is a lovely boyfriend.

I'm surprised Person E (father) didn't bother rounding up the troops. Lots of free-ish labour under the one roof, materials and tools provided, and even a bit of an expert to make sure it went well...and his house goes up in value too. I would dump it squarely on his shoulders going forward tbh.
