You can see how filthy this kitchen was-we tried to clean some of the cabinets...they are all coming out!

progress on the house
This is the front of the house after we tore down the ivy that was completely covering the walls and windows-the front porch is also torn down at this point.
Ivy covering whats left of the front porch roof.
Front porch torn off and siding being removed-we found lots of dry rot and termite damage.
Front corner of the house next to the garage-the master bedroom. The floor was completely rotted thru in the corner next to the gate. The wall and window were removed shortly after I snapped this pic.
One corner of the living room before we started emptying the house.
Dining room. The carpet is literally soaked in cat pee.
Smaller bathroom-carpeted, yuk!
One of the two smaller bedrooms that Mom was using for her sewing room.
Another of the smaller bedrooms after we pulled carpet and started packing.
Living room.
Dining room.
Taken from the doorway of the master bedroom into the dining room and farther back is the living room. I can't wait to tear out all that paneling!!
Master bathroom.
Master bedroom. The hole in the floor is in the upper right hand corner behind the chair. This is taken after we pulled the bed out of the room.
Back porch-we are moving that bamboo-its completely blocking the kitchen window and is way too close to the house. The back porch is coming off too.
Front yard.
One of many storage buildings out on the back of the property. Feral cats have been pooping on the rafters for years! Needless to say thats coming down.
Old chicken coop and more sheds.
Some kind of screened pergola thing Dad built. Its rotted.
Some of the back yard.
More rotted storage sheds. The roofs have rotted and leaked-everything inside these is ruined pretty much.
Back porch and yet another storage unit almost completely engulfed in blackberry bushes.
This is part of the deck on the back of the house. It extended to the left and right of this section. The rest was rotted and dangerous so we pulled it off.
Front porch. Gives somewhat of an idea of the ivy engulfing the house.
Front porch-this furniture was for the cats...
Driveway and front corner of the house.
