Its 12 years of accumulated stuff and I was thinking I was just going to get rid of everything. I had the feeling I didn't want to hang onto anything. We tried to get rid of a lot of stuff in a garage sale. Some of it went, some of it didn't. It's a long process".
A photograph captioned, "We get the young fellas to come in and do the upkeep on the government houses that have been sold.

There's people living here, and there's nothing worse than looking over your house and seeing grass this high".
