Even worse is my last surviving grandparent is now in a care home. Her house (connected to my parent's property) needs to be gone through in addition to my parents house(s), barns, sheds, 5th wheel...
It's a 2 bed, 2 bath house from the 70s in bad shape, needing to be completely gutted, probably including flooring underlayment and drywall. It could be rented out, but not before major restoration.
Instead of working on those sorts of projects, my dad plants corn to feed 200 families. We eat a couple ears and plow 95% of it back into the dirt. This despite the fact you can buy corn 50 cents an ear.
