Do you live close enough to go over? If she's too busy to work out what jobs are left, would you have time to go through the jobs with him with a proposed timetable, and pop over once a week to check how it's progressing? The involvement of a third party might be enough to push the relationship back into a professional one.
I wouldn't normally suggest such extensive involvement, except that she's your sister...Mortgage when started: £330,995

In the meantime she - Tara has got a lock fitter coming to do the locks she is changing all four, patio, front and rear main, and porch doors, to be on the safe side, he has never used a key but she has gone to the shops before and left him in the veg patch so he could have easily popped and got one cut at that time, anyway she has used 'check a trade' each is costing £109 inc vat, to change as it is a whole new lock being fitted, each one, and they are taking the old ones away for safe keeping, which is very kind. That is one less worry.
No he is not at all violent, as he is retired and a bit unsteady due to arthritis in his back and knees. So i don't think he could beat her up or anything, I think on that score as well, Tara used to do kickboxing (quite a while ago) so is able to defend herself if push came to shove. I think it very unlikely though.
:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:left him in the veg patch! Crying with laughter here0
