Hi all
I recently purchased a 3 story fixer-upper house that was abandoned for 5 years after the homeowner had deceased.
The house was bruglarized and the copper waterlines were stolen along with the refrigerator (which the contents were dumped on the kitchen floor to rot), range, and water heater. Not to mention the house was ransacked by jerks looking for valuables.
the house is suprizingly structurally sound. I found a little water damage in one room.
Below are some pictures of the HUGE task at hand.
This photo is what the rear yard looked like. Believe it or not, there is a house behind the jungle.
This is looking at the back yard from the rear porch. (I was using a power inverter on the battery to power some power tools!!)
Here is where the thievs broke in. They kicked down the basement door and broke the jam. I have recently built a new bulkhead door
Here is the kitchen. They trashed it.
Well, more pics to come... got to get back to work!
