The Remaining Work

A lot depends on who, if anyone, wants the house.
Some buyers would take it "as is," in which case the only remaining work is to retrieve any remaining "valuables" inside.
But few buyers would do that.  We expect there are (at least) two more trips remaining to get it into "fixer-upper" shape.

Trip One:

1. Haul away the old car and finish the otherwise inaccessible parts of the garage.
2. Get estimates from companies that will completely empty out the basement and back porch.
3. Get estimates from companies that will "sanitize" the first and second floor (deep cleaning of walls, surfaces, floors)
4. Distribute the tools (keep the keepers, the rest to St Vincent or woodworking clubs)
5. Distribute the furniture (keep the keepers, donate the rest)
6. Ship or store the above mentioned keepers.
7. Replace all old curtains with "temp" curtains
8. Get estimates from any "as is" house buyers
9. Find out if any water can be turned on (e.g., an outside faucet)

Trip Two:

1. Get the basement and porch emptied
2. Sanitize the house
3. Meet with any potential buyers/brokers

Lots to do.
