We’ve got some darn big pigs!.

Okay, I understand doing some work if you aren't "ready" to move yet. And being family, as it seems you all get along, it is decent and fair to do some improvements. I know about rented places and doing too much will only wind up costing the renter and only benefitting the landowner. Many times it is not practical, or even smart to put too much into a place. But again, different circumstances, different reasons for doing things. And it does help to have things more workable if you are going to be there for awhile yet.

His sister has been really good to us. I totally agree with you about improving on a rental place. I wish there was a way to make our housing landlord pay a little out of their pocket when we move out. Unfortunately it would end up costing us for their repair work at 3 times the value. They will be jacking our rent up $500 if we renew our lease.
