Okie Dokie.
We are trying to buy another house. Yeah, I know. Since Baby #2 will be here in 3 months we need the space, and since my old bedroom at my parents house won't be big enough. We also aren't going to waste money on an apartment with pet fee etc.
So the house we are trying to get is my mother-in laws old rental house. The owner is recovering from cancer so her daughter is taking over for selling it. Since my mother in law moved out 5 years ago the daughter used it as a storage facility for her "crafts". Basically a bunch if crap, furniture, etc. The yard was not taken care of. We finally got the front yard looking good & presentable. The backyard on the other hand still has lots of work left. The grass in the back was/is up to the middle of my thigh to my knee. The wooden patio is going to be needing to be redone.
Now for the inside. The kitchen is more than likely needing to be gutted & redo e, which is apparently coming out of our pocket. We already have to buy new appliances because there is no fridge, the wall stove is broken/rusted, and I figured we might as well go ahead & get a new stove top. The flooring in the house was ripped out (which was fine before the crap in house was thrown in), the wood paneling on the walls in the living room was ripped off and replaced with stucco, but the wood trim left. The bathrooms are horrible. The water was apparently still running in the house which caused mold, water funk, the pipe in the master bath tub rotted away and has to be replaced. New tubs, toilets, sinks, & counters in the bathroom has to be replaced. She said she's going to replace it, but I don't see it happening.
Basically a big cluster fuck of renovations. Good thing I don't mind DIY, because most if this will be.
Stay Tuned for more
