This morning, Dad's real estate agent came by to take pictures. She admitted to me that she didn't think we'd get it ready to sell in the two weeks since Dad okayed the listing 

I mean, there was some frantic-ass floor scrubbing this morning, not gonna lie, but it's been pretty steady neatening and cleaning and Dad sorting out his way too many paper files into fileboxes and shifting them into the garage. The real trick of keeping it all pristine (or nearly so) for showings is still to come.
