As of August 25, 2017, this house is mine. There were brief cheers followed by thoughts of where do I begin. First of all I want to thank Denise for being brave enough to help me clean this disaster of a house. We spent pretty much all weekend working on it. It has a long way to go, but the kitchen and bathroom just need to be functional and clean until I can remodel. Here is some of the loveliness we discovered over the weekend.
 |
| The right side is after professional cleaners were to the house. The left side is after I scrubbed for a long time. Brown spots are nicks that I will be repairing next time. |
 |
| Food splashes from 1923 through last week. |
 |
| Denise works on a drawer that has a built in utensil holder. |
 |
| There was a layer of white contact paper, then a layer of blue flowered contract paper, then this layer of linoleum. She finally got down to the wood. |
 |
| I decided to test the dish washer. It started flooding the kitchen so I turned it off. My real estate agent was so kind to give me a home warranty policy. It will be repaired or replaced shortly after I move in. |
 |
| The right side is after the cleaning crew cleaned it. The left side is after Denise cleaned it. |
 |
| We got a real surprise while cleaning the kitchen drawers. Jesus used to live here. I picked a fine time to become an agnostic. Oh well... |
 |
| I will be repairing some damaged wood and doing touch up paint, but this is the picture after we spent a full day getting just this side of the kitchen clean. |
 |
| The front of this sink has a rusty patch that I will be repairing. Then I will be caulking. |
 |
| Before pictures are on my last post. It is usable until the remodel happens. |
 |
| These flowers are on my rose bush in the back yard. It also needs some TLC, but not today. |
