    Been working on cleaning out my mom’s house. Called a guy for what i thought was a small repair. That turned into $10k (that i agreed to and am now scrambling to find) and led to a foundation repair estimate of $25k plus expected plumbing issues. I don’t really want to sell it but not sure i can afford to keep it. Sad, frustrated, still have a tremendous amount of stuff to donate/sell and much cleaning to do. Grateful that i have summer break to do it so there’s time to appreciate the memories. Also happy that my son is living there, covering the mortgage, and having a nice, safe home that he wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford.
