It has been over a year and we haven’t done much with the place. It was not easy working on it when you live 7 hours away. My son and I have officially moved into it now and have been slowly working on what we can. My husband comes down to work on things periodically. We are still trying to sell off the places we have up north. We are in contract for one and just have the main house left to sell.

1. We have removed almost all of the left behind items downstairs but still have upstairs to clean out.
2. My husband added stairs to one of the entrance doors that were missing them and I created a temporary railing for it.
3. My husband realized the upstairs and downstairs balconies did not have the support they should so he has been working on supporting them. He has added railings and started replacing the bottom boards that were rotted out.
4. I have started
5. We have removed over 6 flat bed trailer size loads of trash from the inside and outside of the property. We still have a lot more to remove and hopefully will have some help getting rid of the scrap metal.
6. We have cut down the large branch that was over the well house and lots of the little branches that were over it.
7. We have cleaned some of the weeds, leaves, and etc around the house.
8. My husband put in a new hot water heater and had to fix the flooring under it. Also had to update some breakers because of it.
9. We have half the house skirted and have to finish the other half.

Turns out I am pretty out of shape for working on this, but keep telling myself if I do a little bit every day I will see huge progress!
