Under Control

Since I last wrote, I have calmed down and things are under control.

The pole barn is completely empty.

The front garage is 99.99% empty

The cellar is 99.99% empty of junk.

The attic and second floor bedrooms are 99.99% empty of junk.

The living room is 99.99% empty of junk.

The septic system had to be replaced and that was completed today. A new tank was installed, and a leach field was put in, something that was lacking previously. Now when the toilet is flushed,there is no odor coming back. It cost big bucks -- $7,500 -- but it had to be done and frankly, I'm glad because things are now functioning properly.

I am at the point that I've been focused on since shortly after Ron died: Cleaning up all the stuff around here and putting the house on the market. It could be 3 weeks, 3 months or 3 years, but eventually the house will sell, even with all its issues. It would be a gift if it sold this summer.
