End of an era

By Alicia,

We wanted to let everyone know that we sold mom's house today.
Signing the papers was harder than I thought. We all shed tears over the finalization of our moms estate.

Just thought I would add a picture or two.  Here is the pic from the real estate listing.  It's sort of sad and overgrown.  Charlotte would never have allowed this!!

This house has quite a story to tell under its roof.  I cut my handyman teeth on this house . . .

The projects included:
  • a back door
  • the garage (fully legal with city approval - THAT was a schlepp!)
  • the deck in the back
  • replaced the front door
  • a back gate
  • a side gate
  • a face lift in the kitchen - followed years later by a complete gut and replacement
  • complete got and replacement of the back bathroom
  • and a few others
It really is a definitive day (for good or bad or sad) - So long, Murray . . . our root is completely plucked.
