Time to get cracking
We officially own the house now! WooHoo! Upon further investigation, it's still totally nasty, but totally doable.
The dumpster arrives tomorrow but we've already begun tearing some stuff out. The Missus spent most of yesterday pulling the drop ceilings out of the kitchen and baths. Not too many surprises hidden up there, but we definitely will need to run a new hot water line. The whole reason for the drop ceiling was to conceal the exposed pipes they ran last time. What a hack job. Looks like Jim Bob had his brother in-law (who wants to be a plumber) do it.
I went ahead and pulled a few things out of the master bath and started pulling up the carpets. Unfortunately, they're glued down.
The heirs came and took a large chuck of the train set before we closed - not much is left there at all. Now I don't feel so bad. Pics coming tonight!
