Son & fiancee were here week before last. They did an enormous amount of clearing out, and drug things to our storage locker or here. Put sealer/stain block on the 2 bedroom walls in question, then painted them. I did the trim, still have some to go. I went everyday and worked there a couple of hours, but they were there for all day long, till evening - clearing, cleaning, putting up curtains, whatever. I could never have gotten all that done, not in another 2 years. There is still some things I need to do before it can be "open housed", like finish the trim work I had started around the windows and doors in the bedrooms, and stair bannisters. Patch some places on the kitchen walls and get a small amount of paint and hope it matches good enough, because I'm not repainting the whole thing, let the buyers figure out what color they want it.
I discovered that the valves to the wash machine that I smartly turned off to avoid disaster while not living there, are now frozen in the off position and I'm probably looking at having to call someone in to replace them, as we couldn't do anything with them.
Bob's brother and family members are going to be here tomorrow, for a week to try to help finish up any leftover stuff, like just a few leftover things to pack up, maybe clean the rugs, move the fridge and stove and clean under, weird things in the yard (but now it's turned cold and raining 
Once this is over, I think I want have to work there anymore, just put it for sale and forget it. Then I can concentrate on sorting thru all the stuff that was moved out of there, to HERE (or lockers). Good time, winter, when I don't want to be out anyway.
So the work week son & fiancee were here were really hard on me, it took this last week to try to feel better. Now starts the next week of horror, but hopefully, the worst will be over then.
