I never realized what a home would look like if it was left empty for 8 months out of the year. When we arrived with a packed car to unload under the cover of darkness with no light and a "key search" going on, I realized that this was not going to be easy. When we got in the house, there were so many things that needed to be turned on, fixed and so much to unload that all a person would be able to do is to sleep that night. In the light of the next day many difficult problems came to light. Problems that would take time, patience and diligence to fix. 

After the dust settled I was able to take some pictures.
