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 .None of the above choices .They needed to improve the house before selling it .They were having issues with the house that needed fixing .
