As you can see the visit to the house was a wonderful experience for Grandma, but there's more to tell.
At one point throughout this whole ordeal fighting to get the house back in Grandma's name, the man who stole the house (we've called him Joe in the past and will continue to call him Joe here) said "if you don't back down on this, you'll be sitting on a pile of rubble." It appears he's trying to make that threat come true.
The deeper we have gotten into this legal battle the more Joe knows we aren't backing down and he's not going to win. Last winter the heat was on in the house only enough to keep the pipes from freezing. This year is a totally different story.
When everyone got to the house for the visit, Joe's lawyer was already there at the front door, and the window on the door was completely broken. The lawyer said he had a hard time getting the door unlocked and accidentally broke the window. That made no sense at all. How do you break a window unlocking a door? And even if he put his other hand on the door to give it a shove it wouldn't have been on the window. The window and the door handle aren't close enough to each other to have putting your hand on the window something you would naturally do to unstick the door. If he did put his hand on the window then why wasn't he cut? So, we feel that he broke it on purpose.
The video already mentions how many things are missing from the house. By breaking the window Joe and his lawyers can say during the visit we saw the window was broke. All the items in the house are missing because we must have come back another day and let ourselves in to take that stuff ourselve. Or something. I'm sure they broke it for some reason. That's how dirty these guys play.
Additionally, the heat was completely off in the house. In the dining room there was a horrible water stain on the ceiling and wall where in over 100 years there had never been one before. It's obvious the heat was shut off and the house was not winterized. A pipe or pipes burst somewhere and it's going to be a huge mess when all the ice melts. Any homeowner knows you have to winterize a house if you're going to turn the heat off. Joe has owned his own house, and had rental property. He's stupid but he can't be that stupid. I'm sure in the end he'll try to play stupid like he didn't know about the pipes. However, it's very clear this was an act of intentional negligence.
There is a little more I have to say about this video and our whole experience. I had quite a time editing this video to get it to fit on YouTube. I'll spare you the technical details but this was difficult to do. I had been working on it since Christmas and I couldn't fit any more of the original video in. So, I had to upload it to YouTube as is. The worst part about that is not having the face of the man doing most of the video taping in view. I really wanted to get every single important part in the uploaded video but I couldn't and I feel horrible. But it's kind of a good thing because it gives me a chance to shine a spotlight on a very important person in our lives throughout this whole ordeal.

Here's Larry helping Grandma through the houseSince this nightmare in our family began Larry has been there as the rock we depend on. He gave Mom the support to help her fight this. And now going on 2 years, ever since Grandma came to live with him and Mom, he has been Grandma's caregiver every single day, 24/7. Larry is incredibly loving, attentive, and patient with her. He talks to her, feeds her, helps her in every way attending to her every need. He stays at home with her all the time as her and our family's guardian angel.
Leaving the houseIt is apparent in these photos and by his voice on the video just how wonderful he is with her and how blessed we are to have him as part of our family.
THANK YOU LARRY! WE LOVE YOU AND WE DON"T KNOW WHAT WE WOULD DO WITHOUT YOU!
