Mary, 74, Put Most of Her Retirement Money Into Building Her Forever Home. Eight Years Later She Still Can't Move In: "All That I Had"

Mary Browning walks through the house in East Tampa that was supposed to be her retirement home and points to what is missing. The roof was never finished, and the ceiling is coming down in places. “This is my master’s bedroom,” she told a reporter last month. “Not a room in this house that is completed.” Browning is 74. According to 10 Tampa Bay , records show she paid a 69,000 dollar deposit to Hopps Construction in 2018 to build a three bedroom home. The station says it was supposed to be finished in 120 days. Eight years and an extra 100,000 dollars later, she says the work that was done was not done right, from uneven floors to a cracking foundation and faulty wiring. “I’m unemployed, I’m on Social Security,” she said. “All that money that I had put towards this house was all that I had.” Browning says the contractor sued her in 2022 and put a lien on the house. She filed a countersuit, and the court combined the two cases. In March, she won a judgment of 193,000 dollars. “And as of this day, I haven’t received a penny,” she said.

Florida women's basketball looks to stay hot against South Florida

Florida women’s basketball has gotten off to a strong start under first-year head coach Tammi Reiss, and the Gators will look to keep their undefeated record intact when they return to Gainesville Thursday. The Gators will host South Florida at the O'Connell Center for their first match since rebranding the venue to Tower Hill Arena, with tipoff scheduled for 6 p.m. ET. A victory would give Florida its first 4-0 start under Reiss and make this year’s squad just the eighth team in program history to open a season with four consecutive wins. Florida enters the matchup riding momentum from victories over Bucknell, UCF and Chattanooga, with third-year guard Kiyomi McMiller emerging as one of the nation’s most productive scorers. McMiller is averaging 29.7 points per game through her first three appearances, the best scoring start in program history and the second-highest average nationally as of Nov. 10. Her impressive opening stretch earned her Associated Press National Player of the Week honorable mention recognition and SEC Co-Player of the Week honors. However, McMiller hasn’t been the only Gator making an impact. Third-year Vivian Iwuchukwu has provided an efficient scoring presence inside, averaging 19.5 points over her last two games while
