I just finished renovating a house with a very large yard. My landscaper recommended a crew to mow, weed etc. I thought they were doing an excellent job. But kind of expensive. Then a friend recommended a younger fellow who not only does the yard but is an excellent caretaker. Since this is my second home I needed the caretaker. He said he preferred to do both the yard and caretake. I said ok and let first group go. Now I'm having second thoughts. The younger man and his partner don't seem on top of things and I don't feel confident this will get better. But perhaps they need more time to get used to me. I asked ICWhich way to go with this? Received 56 3,6 to16. I'm not sure what to make of lines.Thanks for any help.

Hexagram 56 could be pointing to your status as an outsider in the community where your house is. You say this is your second home, so this hexagram talks about being at a disadvantage with regard to your presence/standing within the neighborhood. This could perhaps be your need for a caretaker, someone to look after your interests in the property and that you can trust, and who will keep you informed when you are absent. The disadvantage lies in not really knowing the ins and outs of the people, cultural norms, tacit understandings, even local gossip, etc. of this particular community at this time Therefore, as a "traveler" you would need the help of an insider and it would be important to carefully maintain a good relationship with that person.
Lines 3 and 6 both talk about the nest, meaning the sanctuary being destroyed by fire, which is indicative of anger, violent action, or merely impatience. In line 3 the traveler fails to connect with his servant because he does not recognize the servants humanity and that he really needs the servants help and good will. A subtle shift in point of view could be key to you being able to shift the situation with the caretaker - for instance, when you say, "But perhaps they need more time to get used to me." you are not expressing the proper state of mind of the traveler, you would do better to see the working relationship as a two way street where both persons need to respect and "get used to" each other, and the traveler understands the great value of the service being provided which goes beyond just mowing the lawn because it is a link to the community at large. Stay clear of unnecessary drama and intrigue which can be the downside of involvement in a community, but stay open to creating useful alliances and any reliable information they may offer up.

Great answer and I'm realizing yes we need to get used to each other. I feel more confident after more communication with him about things. Thanks!
