We've had a day to think and to talk and the shock is leaning more towards excitement. You should know that we aren't new to remodeling. We've remodeled most of our own home and we (mostly the hubby) have helped virtually everyone we know do something. He does it all! We have always wanted to rehab and flip a house. Of course we can do a better job than those people on television! The only problem is that we've never tried to rehab a big-nasty-disgusting....lets be honest, it's a shit-hole, on our own budget with zero sub-contractors.(insert Jaws music)
It is hubbies Saturday to work. Our daughter really wanted to see the house and I wanted to get some initial measurements so we could start the planning process. The two of us aren't what I would call "prissy" but every girl has her limits. First of all, you can't even open the front door. The room behind the door is piled 3 feet high with crap. Clothes, more mail than anyone should ever receive in a lifetime, sweepers, crap, crochet supplies, crap, fans and oh crap - a million dead pigeon skeletons! Every room of the house is covered with junk, we need a dumpster to clean out the junk before we need a dumpster for demolition debris. We got about half the house measured before the dead bird heebie-jeebies became too much for us and we had to flea the premises.
