Here's a sad little video:

Yeah, isn´t it sad?
If I were a millionaire, I would restore it.
But I guess it adds a touch of realism to it. There is a probably a big chance that this is what would have happened to the Twist ranch since their only child died so early. There would have been nobody to keep the place going.

True that. But I don't think the state of the house is due only to natural decline. It looked vandalized too. Like the big whole in the door, and the hole in the wall that's visible in the video.

Maybe they are actually more common in the country than in town?
Are you saying your grandparents used the brushes before they entered the house, rather than before they left?

I think they had two different set of brushes. One for the beautiful cloths and one for the ordernary cloths. And the beautiful cloths they brushed before they left home, and the old rags they brushed before the went inside the house, for a break or something.

That makes a whole lot of sense.
