when my youngest son got divorced, his wife got to stay in the large home he had worked on very hard himself, so it hurt like heck to move out of it. We purchased an old home at auction for him, until he could get finances all settled, AND HE TORE INTO THAT HOUSE, took everything down to the studs, removed walls, added a new bathroom, did all the tiling himself, new flooring, new windows, etc. He did all the work himself (with some brother help) and now he has a very pretty, up to date home. I think it is wonderful when these young men try doing so much on their own. My husband knew( sort of) HOW TO PAINT AND THAT WAS ABOUT IT. Now when we need something done, we call on the kids. Yea!!! I hope your grandson and family will be very happy in their new home.
