I finally closed on the house last Tuesday and have spent every day since cleaning the house. The basement, the attic, the yard. Unending. Before I can spend even one night in the house, its gotta be clean. After all the cleaning I went out and bought some new appliances today at a nice discount. The kitchen is beyond saving so first I need to knock out some walls, new ceiling, new ceramic tile floor. Then I can install the  appliances. To save $$$ I will be doing most of the work myself.
