Last year, around Halloween, I talked about adding on to my grandpa’s house to make him a new living area in the house upstairs. He had mentioned living upstairs when he was a child and had fond memories from that.
I thought about finishing the attic in the garage and adding a 2nd floor to the breezeway connecting the bathroom upstairs to the attic. I even considered adding an elevator just in-case my grandpa was ever wheelchair bound. I talked about this with both my partner and grandpa, both seemed amenable to the idea.
Fast-forward a few months and $200,000 is missing from his account. My cousin starts building an in-law suite in his house for his grandma. Imagine that. The police don’t give a shit; they don’t even want to hear about it.
