The house had been abandoned for a couple years so there was a lot of mold in the house. I would get a severe headache in the house after just a few minutes it was so bad. the first thing I bought from Home Depot was a respirator, a great investment.
Here's the girlfriend removing the 3 million staples that held the padding down.
Looks a lot better already...
We then set the parlor up as our temporary bedroom:
Our dumpster arrived on the 5th and it was time to get to work...
The first thing I did was tear the old carpeting out of what will become our kitchen:
The carpet padding was totally rotted and stuck to the floor. You might notice in the picture that there is a section of the floor in the middle of the room that's not painted. The entire house is like this, it appears that they would just lift up the edges of the rug to paint the floor.
