Tonight marked the end of a long week , and Paul offered to take the kids home from my folks ' and put them to bed . We had two cars as he had , yet again , devoted a big chunk of his weekend to getting his parents ' house ready for sale -- a never - ending and thankless job if there ever was one . So I took him up on the offer and played hooky for a while . First , I drove down to the house Paul has been cleaning , emptying , repairing , painting , and re - wiring since June .

Question: Why were they making adjustments to the house ?
Answer: The house was starting to fall apart .They were preparing to sell it .They were having issues with the house that needed fixing .None of the above choices .
