The house

We finally took possession of the Ladner house on the 31st July, and we immediately went to work on the place. Ashley ripped down the tumbled down perimetre fence and we have basically stripped all that is ugly and stuffed out of it. Unfortunately that hasn't left too much inside!!!! And of course we have found some nasty surprises too, like a tonne of broken glass strewn all through the back yard, which we had to have scraped and removed with a bob cat. Then today when Ashley was pulling up the blinding and skanky carpet, he found a whole corner of the room with severely rotted floor boards, which will have to be replaced. I dread to think what else is laying in wait for us to find. It is incredible how badly looked after this place has been - you'd think there would be something that had been maintained properly or fitted correctly, but there isn't! The place certainly could use some well deserved TLC and that is where we come in.
