The House

Ok so I mentioned that we went and did the inspection on this house and it was gross. Prior to the inspection they had ripped up the carpet in the lounge room because it was a health hazard but never replaced it. There was rubbish left in the laundry, a fridge in the lounge room and light fittings missing in a bedroom. Generally the house was left disgustingly dirty and gross. It smelt and was just foul. There are so many fly marks on all the light fittings it is going to be awful cleaning them. Also in the kitchen there was food on the light fittings. Holes in the walls and doors missing and fly screens missing.

When we did the out going inspection we didn't venture outside to much but enough to see that a mattress, lawn mowers, bikes, trampoline top and lots of other crap and rubbish. (is there a difference) When we were there the other day to get a quote from the cleaner we ventured further outside. We were out there for a while before we noticed all the fleas on us!!! They must have been in the mattress. It was horrible. I had so many little bits on me. Dad had had an outbreak of fleas at their place and he had only just washed all the animals and bedding etc, so we really didn't want to infest our houses. So we drove back to their house and got mum to pass out the fly spray, so we could spray ourselves and the car. Honestly it was so gross!

It looks like it is going to cost us about $1000 just to clean the place, inside and out. Then it has to be repainted. I am also going to replace all the light fittings and also it is going to have to have new fly screens through out! Crazy that people live like this. They had 6 kids and the youngest was about 2. How said it that. However we have to deal with the aftermath. Yuk.
