Not only did we get our loan, but the tenants moved out of the house! All except the roaches they had brought w/ them when they moved in. we fumigated the house twice this week and the darn bugs still look at us and laugh as they stomp all over our house! we are sure it had a lot to do with the condition of the house. Yesterday we got the house completely emptied out, the tenants had left but had left a lot, and in the basment there was standing water and looks of junk. Upstairs there was a milk carton left on the counter and cheetos all over the living room floor. Thats the least of it. So we bleached, rather I bleached, all of the walls (all without wearing gloves because we couldnt find the ones we bought, and my sensitive skin is now bleach burned on my hands, ouch!!) and the floors. Then we started painting. The house is going to look great w/ the new paint and new carpet. we picked out both yesterday and the day before.
I am very disappointed with our church group, and I know I should talk to someone about it in group, but I cant, I know I will get mad at them. We sent out several emails asking for help with the house. Only one person helped and that was Dean’s ex, thats a funny story too, I’ll save it for later. No one who didnt see the house when we started wont know how hard we worked, its a complete turnover job on the house and we are doing all alone. This is a huge feat for people our age and with a newborn. Luckily Dean’s aunt lives around the corner pratically from the new house so has been watching the baby now and then so we can work. My moms been helpful there too. But we cant get any one else even to offer, even if its just to be there for us. It really annoys me. i cant help but think that our group in Ohio would be there for us, we’d probaby at least have round the clock childcare from the gals and the guys would do the work, but here there’s nothing. Sure we’ve only been back a few months, but we’ve made lots of friends in this time but I guess that doesnt matter to them. Sorry , I had to vent. Today my goal is to pack up stuff here at my moms to make the move easier.
