My parents rented out their Denver house for 3 years while Dad had to work out of state for a while. When they came back, they'd discovered the renters had been using the wood burning fireplace without opening the flue. Heavy black soot does not clean well off of white walls...Dad ended up having to repaint most of the entire 1st floor.
 
Yeah exactly! I don’t want to stress about it hahah I’m already stressed enough from how he wasn’t gonna sell it then suddenly was lol and having to pack all my stuff
Good morning Kelsey :frow
I guess you have to be direct. Tell him he is OLD and needs to take care of himself or you'll end up putting him in a nasty home after a bit ;)


In this case sharing IS caring. Unlike when people share their horrendous weather.


Same here. We got some cheap 6' bookcases when DW's aunt moved to assisted living a few months ago. She STILL has a bunch of boxes full. Prior house had 7' tall bookcases along the stairs. Already had a bunch of lower stand alone bookcases full.

I have NO idea where we are supposed to put the FULL SET of National Geos that are in MIL's basement when she heads to assisted living whenever that is. She's still fine at 88 but then so was FIL until last summer. Now he has Parkinson's and can barely get from chair to wheelchair in assisted living. He is 96.


:eek:
Don't tell DH and the kids!!!!


:wee
WAY too many people getting sick from Delta. So unnecessary and likely to force more mandates to keep it from spreading. People will get POed over that but their reluctance to get vaccinated will be the cause.


Moving IS VERY STRESSFUL! Keep centering yourself. Om, om, om


No way I would do an air b&b. You can get insurance to cover any problems on a rental and if you have a management company they have to deal with problem tenants. I'm sure they have insurance as well.

Of course there is the issue of taxes. He doesn't want to sell grandma's house since it isn't a primary residence. Unlike really rich people who manage to pay almost no taxes he'd pay big on that sale. He can sell the current house with no federal tax bite since it has been his primary for at least 3 of the last 5 years. If he DOES move into Grandma's house and keep the current house, sell it in 2 years. If he's going to sell Grandma's house, move into it for 3 years first.

Yes I DO know about that! We sold our old house after renting it out for a few years. Sent a huge amount of money to Uncle Sam and the state.
Good morning Bruce :frow maybe one day all my books will be in one place 🙄
Good morning everyone! Trying to get use to waking up earlier :caf

Very interesting! I'm going to save that information and pass it along.
:lau "it's the reason people think your married to a younger woman" :gig that's hilarious!

They like when I read. Trying to get them to read independently is another story, and they're actually good readers! I struggled reading until high school so, I really pushed them this passed year, and I am proud of their skills. But... with my younger two, you'll hear lots of "this is so hard", "I forgot how to read", "this is boring", or my favorite from the youngest.."this overwhelms me, i might pass out" :lau kids are funny.

Yum!!! They look cute :)

Ugh, I hate being left out of the loop. DH use to be so stressed trying to "figure it out" that he didnt tell me anything until the last minute. Drove me nuts but he's improved so I cant complain anymore :p

Good luck! Hope all goes smoothly with no issues :)


It's a pain just to rent out and not every tenant treats the homes as you would (or should). I've helped clean out a rental for a friend of mine. It was in such bad shape, it's hard to imagine how people live. sometimes that alone can cost a fortune especially if they break something 🙄
Good morning Mad :frowKids are too funny !!
