Gladys and Carla couldn’t believe how meticulously Joyce had maintained everything within the house. It was readily evident that decorating the home had been a passion project, but in the decades that followed, keeping everything in tip-top shape had obviously been a labor of love.

In homes that have been built within 5 or 10 years, little work will probably need to be done, but once a home turns 20 or even 30, things start to show signs of age. But just like Joyce, everything was working as well as when they’d first purchased the home all those years ago - all except for one room.
