A house to call our "own"...

We finally have keys to the house! And let me tell you it was an utter wreck when we got there on Saturday. Apparently the last tenants have never cleaned the house in the four years they lived there and figured there was no need to do so if they were leaving anyway. There was trash on the floor in every room not to mention paintballs, beads, and dead bugs everywhere! The carpet looks like they poured oil on it, the tile has never been mopped and I'm pretty sure they groomed their dog in the master bathroom tub the day they left. The teenage boys room has parts to two ceiling fans on the floor with no ceiling fan or light hung and hundreds of staples in every wall. I could go on and on about all of the damage in this house, but I'm tired of complaining.

We worked for a few hours both Saturday and Sunday and made quite a bit of progress. We got out most of the stuff they left behind and cleaned up all of the trash, swept and vacuumed and changed the locks. It looks so much better all ready! I am so excited to keep working on it and get to the finished product that much sooner! It's bad now but it's going to be amazing when I'm done with it! Yay for a new project!!!!
