All the spouting on the house is completely
falling apart and one of the rooms which is tiny

The house is always cold and has vines growing
throughout the house and there is all mildew all
over the walls. It is no wonder that Dad gets
sick in this place. And one thing I miss is

because the showerhead has broken off and no one
has come to fix it.
