What can be done about this dilemma?

A relative I’ll call Geanie appeared in my dream on 3/4 January 2008.I dreamt that we had a knock out fight and she tried to put me in a vise grip.However, I got out.Last week, I got a phone call from the agent I left in charge of my house.( I am living/working in a different locale).She said that Geanie changed both the door and locks on the door.Now, when my agent, who is renovating the house, wants to access it to complete a job, she has to go to Geanie for the key.The agent says she has been amicable because she did not want to cause problems.Geanie knocked down the chain link fence gate and moved into the house nextdoor to mine, which is jointly owned.It is on the market.A document for the sale of real estate has been prepared but Geanie has been evading her lawyer and delaying it.She knows that if there is legal action against her, she can decide not to sign the document, even though she agreed to and signed the initial document.What action if any can be taken against Geanie?

um if she changed the locks on your house, or on a house that you jointly owned, without your permission then that is illegal.

you can demand that she prevented you access to the house, and she must pay renting/fee, for sole occupancy. or for breaking a contract of “shared use.” also she would be accountable for all money you are out, IE the money you had to pay the contractor for coming to the property.

Whittling: Whittling Vs. Wood Carving

Whittling is the removal of pare shavings or the cutting of small bits from a piece of wood. It is the most basic form of wood carving but it is not actually the art of wood carving, as it is done today. Wood carving requires a number of tools, even power tools at that. So it could get complicated pretty fast. But this is not how it is when one whittles. All you need to whittle are two things: a piece of wood and a knife.

True whittling has always been very simple. Details in the wood aren’t very refined but rather pretty coarse. When you are holding a whittled object in your hand, you know it. You can plainly see each knife stroke. Using sand paper isn’t an option. This is the exact opposite of wood carving, which typically excels in details. When you’re holding a wood carving of the same object, you usually won’t see even one knife stroke. It’s very interesting. Whittling a little girl could take a week when all you’re using is a knife. Wood carving the same little girl requires more tools but it takes just a fraction of the time. She’ll also have many details that couldn’t be produced with just a knife.

Whittling requires no special tools, no special circumstance or any specific type of working environment. Just you, a piece of wood and your knife are all it takes. You can whittle anywhere inside or outside your home, in a car, at a picnic, in a parknearly anywhere. This is not so with detailed wood carving.

There are quite a number of special tools that you’ll likely be using when you wood carve. There are detail knives and carving knives, wood rasps and wood files, wood gouges and wood chisels. And these aren’t all of them. (Ever heard of a sanding stick?) There’s a very good chance that you’ll probably have a handful of power tools as part of your wood carving tool kit. Then you’ll also need to concern yourself with how to supply electric power. It isn’t so simple.

You really do need a designated work area when you’re wood carving. You usually aren’t even holding the wood you’re working on. Many times it’d be a vise doing that for you so you’ll need a good work bench or platform. And with all those valuable tools around, you don’t want anyone fiddling with them. Besides the possibility of losing them, many of them are dangerously sharp and no one should touch them but you. And what about that special creation that you’ve been working on for so long? You surely don’t want any spectators scoping it out when you’re not around. Who knows what’ll happen? (Hey, where’d the nose go?)

The act of whittling is considered to be a contemplative, meditative process. It isn’t so much what you’re whittling but the process itself. Wood carving, on the other hand, is more of an end result process. You strive to create what you see in your mind with all the details that come with it. You’ve a product to produce and so you may not care to spare any time.

It comes down to a matter of taste and how you feel. If you have no care to rush, you want to take your time and see what happens, whittling is for you. If you’d like to see just how skilled you can be, how good you are at bringing out details, wood carving may be just what you’re looking for. Hey, try them both. You might surprise yourself.
