We didn't have much humidity today so it might be nice and comfortable when it gets there.

That going thru everything is a pain Patty spent all last Summer helping her friend the hoarder move. She can't get rid of anything so the house is nowhere near being ready to be put on the market.

Biggest thing we are working on right now is my grandmothers stuff. I’m taking the time that we are cleaning and purging a lot of my old stuff I don’t need anymore so it will make things easier down the line.

The older generations hid important things, so you have to go thru everything not missing anything.

That’s what we are doing Rick. Every envelope or price of paper. Every piece of furniture in her room is being gone through with a fine tooth comb. We are donating a lot of her clothes to local charities. Some of the bedroom furniture went to a relative. We still have a lot more to go though.

I don't think going thru someones personal possessions would be anything that I would relish.

Pretty much Don. Especially my grandmother these last few years with her dementia. Hard to tell where she put stuff.

You never know where you'll find stuff.

When I was reworking my barber's house I found $5000. in cash that she didn't remember putting there.
