Cleaning Weekend

We had a productive cleaning and demolition weekend at Glory Acres. Ryan's parents came to help take care of the boys and work... HUGE help, we couldn't have gotten as much done without them. Day 3: We first tackled the barn and garage.

 

 Then the deck. Besides the huge holes, rotted wood, and invitation for critters to make their home below it, it doesn't look that bad, right? We have other plans for this area ;)

 

Day 4: Clean out the nasty, neglected basement. (This is after, I need to get better at taking the "before")

 

Trees cut down. We've got lots of them (thankfully). Ryan's forester instinct knows which ones need to go. 

  

Bathroom toilet & vanity taken out.

  

 Fires, lots of them!

 

Deck fully taken out and ground leveled. Bonus! we uncovered a sidewalk! Looking nice!

 

Day 5: Demolition begins. Kitchen cabinets are taken out, the best ones will go in the workshop.

 Bedroom carpeting taken out. This was given the "worst" room so far. Beyond the basement, garage, and barn. That's pretty bad. We pulled up carpet, pad, 2 layers of vinyl, newspaper from 1937 on the bottom.

 Upstairs carpet out

 

 Kitchen almost finished.

Just a few more hours of clean up and we will get started on fixing this place :)
