Cheap Cheap Cheap

Ok...so people never believe me that my dad is cheap, he is, he's really cheap, we don't even make sense in our cheapness because yes he's prone to nice things a la $125 shirts, but he like won't do something that is potentially life threatening aka fix the deck because one day a giant squirrel will come and rip off the other part of the missing wood piece and the deck will literally fall from its suspension and like crash to the ground...so annoying...so basically the deck is 8 if not older years, we bought the house 8 years ago-the deck had to be reinforced, not the wood just got soft or is rotting I don't know, but it's like bendable and so this Uncle guy comes because he is a smoker, stepped on it and it kind of like disintegrated after my dad painstakenly put hours into putting plaster-yes plaster outside all over the pieces of wood with missing pieces of wood...sigh and then I tell me, it can't cost more the $10,000 and he's like in practically a yelling voice, "OH DON'T BE SO SURE" like yes, the small deck is going to cost $10,000 fucking dollars, come on man, but of course he can't get it fixed because we have to buy a new car and I have to go to law school in the wee future although he had already anticpated I going to law school like a long time ago, probably when I was 10 and i'm even taking a year off, leaving him ample time for the interest to go and he has always stated that he has money for me to go to college, but not to buy a birkin bag (he never said the birkin part, but obviously implied) and that um...hello, you know the house needs repairs...it's like normal hence why ou bought a house...god damn he is cheap. Jesus, but yea, and the car thing, he's known he has to buy a car 8 years ago and now really can't take it because the cars are like a quarter century old and he's so fearful one day sans cell phone he will get deserted someone and unable to get home, but he can't yell at the cars because they were old, and he has also put aside money for that and we even sold real estate and let it build up interest in an account so that he could buy the car, so it wasn't even like he took it from his chunk of whatever money...god, he is so cheap, word of advice kids, when you return early, like a whole 9 years early, this is what happens, you live longer and you get so paranoid that you're going to be poor all the time so you like don't fix decks, don't get cars, and like other various things...so yes, what I suspect is one day his foot will go completely through one of those pieces of wood, he'll deem the deck is unsafe, then not permit anyone to go out on it, and then he won't fix it until like one day some random squirrel sits on the deck or either his beloved pieces of like plants, flowers or random artifact pots will go through the wood because it is so week, smash to its demise onto the ground and then not only will be he out of the alledged $10,000, but of the priceless pieces of crap (I mean ceramics) that he had pain stakenly made and like put out there, or rather yet, the indigenous people have made and like he bought forexorbiant amounts of money probably not seen by those indigenous people. Roughly, I don't see how someone could charge more the $7,500 to do because I don't think materials will cost that much and also I mean, I saw someone do a deck that took them "12 man hours" and so I think that if they had two people doing 12 man hours so equal to 24 man hours, the deck would be done, it's easy peesy, but yea, for my dad, it could probably cost as much as a new car-some $60,000 and then he'll probably ask my mom, "do you want a new car or a new deck..." So freaking retarded and I don't think Home Depot could charge you $60,000 for a new deck when your house is not even that big and the deck doesn't even wrap around the house for christ sakes...one day squirrel-meet your demise
