I’m sure he is getting a bargain.

Every house needs a deep clean after furniture is moved and in this case I think the Stewarts deserve an extra measure of grace. Carlin has a newborn and has been very sick. <br /><br />We moved once with a newborn and another child having seizures and in the midst of an epilepsy diagnosis. It was incredibly difficult and I feel so much sympathy for Carlin being the sick one in the midst of all moving and adjusting to a newborn. <br /><br />I noticed that people struggle with understanding seizures...because the person seems okay part of the time it might be hard to believe how sick he or she really is. Seizures are unpredictable, scary, and very disruptive to the entire family. Trying to find a diagnosis and treatment is exhausting, even more so because the doctors are often baffled and most of the drugs are trial and error with side effects. It is like an invisible bully lives with you, waiting to ambush and push you to the ground at random times—and at the same time, the people you look to for help struggle to catch the bully or stop him effectively. <br /><br />I so hope the Stewarts’ family and friends treat them with compassion and grace, in public and private, during this difficult time.

It would be an easy thing to check. But I agree, too many "social influencers" online are showing themselves doing renovations, even huge whole-house jobs, when you know they're not licensed. It worries me because you could buy a house that wasn't properly renovated and unless you did a lot of paperwork digging, never know until major problems crop up, even life-threatening ones.

Had thought of them living there or in Erin and Chad's old house when they moved to Florida (whenever that will be). At least Lydia will get the chance to make the place "home" before they marry while Trace works on things.
