These are the first pictures we took. This was the weekend after we closed. Uncle Bill, Marilyn, Amy, Steve, and Olivia were in town and got a first look. I think they thought we were crazy. :) We knew going into this that we had a long road ahead of us. The further in we got, the more we realized needed to be done.
Several things the photos did not / cannot capture: 1) the smell of mold and cat urine 2) the hole through the front door 3) The missing window on the front, patched by a Chicken Out menu. 4) The shattered front window repaired by tape. 5) Rusted window frames 6) Holes in walls and interior doors. 7) The only light was ONE ceiling fixture that was falling down.
This is looking into the kitchen. In front of the kitchen is rotten parkay flooring. You can see a bit of the orange extension cord coming out of the kitchen. All of the electrical outlets in the kitchen were cold, so the refrigerator was plugged into an outlet in the living room. On the right you can see a half-functioning old fashioned fuse box.
As you turn left into the kitchen, this is the view! The dishwasher does a great Old Faithful impression. Yes, we believe that's what caused some of the flood damage.

View into the bedroom:
The bathroom -- the room we originally thought needed the least amount of work. Relatively speaking, it wasn't that bad.
