That got my attention.
Then he told me who was standing beside him.
I grabbed my keys.
When I arrived, Grandpa was standing in the driveway of the million-dollar property.
But he wasn’t alone.
Standing beside him was David, his attorney.
There was also Tommy, one of Grandpa’s former apprentices.
Tommy wasn’t a young apprentice anymore. He now owned one of the largest carpentry companies in the county.
And there were two other people arriving at the property as well.
A real estate agent.
And a photographer.
That’s when everything started to make sense.
Melissa and Grant were preparing to put the house on the market.
And they were apparently hoping to sell the newly renovated property for significantly more than they had paid for it.
The real estate agent had arrived to begin preparing the listing.
The photographer was there to document the house.
The timing could not have been worse for them.
David, Grandpa’s attorney, calmly explained the situation.
Frank had a signed contract.
He had approved change orders.
He had receipts.
He had insurance documentation.
He had payment records.
