30 years of grime

After no sleep we returned to the money pit to assess our options in the light of day.
Funnily enough it didn't seem quite as bad as we remembered.
Yes we still had enormous hole in the loungeroom and no floor in the sunroom but what the hell we knew it was going to be a renovators delight. A shift in priorities was required and the new kitchen and bathroom would have to wait a while.

My mum came over and we got stuck into cleaning 30 years of grease, grime, slime, yuck, yuck and more yuck off the kitchen and bathrooms
What can I say - It was just yuck. The whole day was spent sniffing domestos, bleach, and other various cleaning products. Caitlin is convinced that we are all going to get black lung - including the dogs lol..

But at the end of it everything was lovely and clean - you didn't stick to surfaces anymore, the door handles didn't smell of pee, and you could actually sit on the toilet seat....

Monday we have plasters, restumpers and builders coming out so this will be a very expensive day...
But at the end of it hopefully we will have some idea of what the full extent of the damage is and can plan accordingly..
