Well, Grandpa and Grandma's house no longer belongs to the M. Ray Hiatt Trust. Noel and Vern were co-trustees and we signed the closing documents a few weeks ago. It was bought by Todd and Julia Wamboldt. They have four kids and moved from Santaquin. Our asking price was $258,900. They had a home inspection done. It turned up that the plumbing job grandpa did in the back bathroom when he put the sink in the bathtub and turned the bathtub into a shower caused a quite extensive leak in the plumbing. All the floorboards in that part of the house had rotted and are badly in need of replacement. We settled on $7,000 in concessions. All in all I feel like we made out pretty well.
The Wamboldts seem to be a really nice family. I met them as they were moving in. They like the area. They wanted to hear some stories about the house or see some pictures. They thought it was cool that they are now just the second owners of the house. I told them I have some old pictures, but a picture of the house from 1954 would probably look the exact same as it does today (except for the new carpet that was laid in the living room and bedroom.)

It's so strange that we will never go to grandma and grandpa's house for Christmas breakfast. I hope this young family will be able to make some memories there like we all have.
Thanks for sharing this with us Dan!
