step 2

this is really the state the house was left in. I had already taken out 2 big bag fulls of rubbish when i realised that I should be photographing the way things were left.
some cupboard doors in the kitchen had been ripped off and thrown out onto the pile of rubbish out the front. I retrieved these and Rob fixed them and put them back on. internally the cupboards smell of mould and need airing and drying. externally the kitchen is in ok condition and apart from a good clean doesn't really need any major work done to it at this point.
this is the state the lounge room was lived in. yes, it was used as a bedroom. the wall paper was peeling off and a huge tarantula lived underneath it. the carpet stunk incredibly. we found a syringe between the carpet and the wall.
