We haven’t had much to say on here for quite some time. Mostly there isn’t much to say about losing a brother/friend to brain cancer and having to manage all of his affairs alongside your own.
Basically, we’ve been pretty busy.
But as of June 29th, we are no longer working on or living in Mike’s house because it sold. I thought you might like to see some of what I saw as Steve morphed the house from a neglected shell to a very nice home which sold quickly.

It morphed nicely!
Having looked over this today I can, now, greatly appreciate your efforts.
I am glad you went to the time and trouble to record this as you did.
Thank you
Steve
You’re the one that did all the work!
Taking pictures was the easy part. (and I think I missed a bunch)
