...and more. My dad is in a similar situation with his dad's property in Florida. Dealing with family on money issues is not easy.
As sentimental as the house is, it sounds like that is the only value to it other than the land itself. The hardest thing to do sometimes is to let others fend for themselves; I am the poster child for "taking care of people" and I know whereof I speak! ;-D
Look after YOU this time: buy the car, wash your hands of the house (Several times. With Boraxo)and think of the memories made in that house and the wonderful woman your grandma was.
And then wonder how the hell those nuts you share a family name with came from the same tree as you and she did! :-D
