In 2019 the store celebrated its 95th anniversary and everything was going great.

Maybe Murphy's Oil soap all of the wood and leave it as is and see if it rents.I say that because you don't know what's behind that paneling (cost $$$)(40 layers of wallpaper, giant cracks in the lath and plaster, etc...) and from the pic it looks like a lot of cabinets (cost $$$) to replace.If it were mine and I decided to leave it as is, I'd probably do the kitchen floor in (period type) 12 x 12 squares and replace the carpet with dark LVP and see how much rent I could get for it.Probably a new Formica top and a new Dish Washer (just to avoid service calls on the old one) and Greige the wall color.Of course from the pics I can't tell the condition of the cabinets--but have have seen similar ones of that age in incredible shape.Good Luck!

I am wondering what do to about things like hand towels, soap etc for the house?

But to end on a positive note... today is the anniversary of the day when our very own Q-Hilary Catton joined us here on planet earth!

I just use soap and water to clean joint compound off surfaces like sinks.

I wouldn't get involved in the soap opera.

The initial post in this thread made me think I was reading an excerpt of Glenn Beck speaking from his soap box...

We do tend to have pantry's and lot's of extra soap and toilet paper as we discussed.
