The place looked pretty bad when we started out, but it is really starting to come around. I do not know why the previous owner was in such a hurry to sell the place without doing some of this stuff themselves, although they seemed to have too much money to worry with it. At any rate I started out the big thing was to find someone to do drain cleaning near me, apparently some local kids had been using the place for the sorts of things you do when you are a teenaged delinquent. The graffiti was not a big deal, the place needed to be painted any way. Whatever they tried to flush down the toilets was an entirely different matter and you really can not live in a house with no working plumbing . I got that down before Tiffany and the kids started to work on the move. In fact I had the place looking and smelling pretty good in a record time if you ask me.

I rented a truck and the tools that I did not have, then I got a couple of guys I know to help me out. This old retired guy I know named Jack was a huge help, even though the only time he raised a hand was when he was drinking the beer I bought to entice him to come over. Of course he is the sort of guy who does not really have to work, but he knows how to do any sort of job when it involves a house. He is not an electrician, but he can do all the stuff that those guys do. I suppose that he is a plumber of sorts and he can definitely do all that stuff. I just needed him to tell me what I needed to do.
