Okay, as I love ya'll so much, I want ya'll to be the first ones (aside from those who saw the house under Andre's reign) to see how terrible our house looks. We've done some work since these were taken, but they're not uploaded yet. I'll put up the after shots as they come.
Okay, background, we're living in this place b/c it's real cheep, and we're real low on funds, so it works. We're in the process of fixing it up (we've put down a new floor in the hallway, and the roof and ceiling are getting fixed sometime next week), but it looked much worse when we first moved in. These were all taken after we cleaned out most of Andre's crap. (Andre is Matt's older brother). The hall used to be full of dirty laundry, the kitchen burried under dishes and the floor under garbage. We didn't know there was a floor in the bedroom for all the crap, and I seriously just found out that the main bedroom has a bathroom (which is currently home to our new kittens. I'll put up pics of them at a later date).
So, without further ado, our crap heap.

 This is the shower. Yes, that is sticky paper on the walls. We're going to put this waterproof faux tile stuff that's supposed to go in there. |

 Our tub. I fee nervous about taking a bath because it's not firmly in place. This is getting kicked in and replaced real soon as well. |

 The hole at the base of the tub. There was a towel there when we moved it. I just thought Andre took a shower and dropped it there one day, but when I moved it I could see the ground beneath our house. Quite unsettleing. |

 Our toilet. Believe it or not, this is just over three months old. Strangly, with everything else wrong in this place, the leaky john is the only thing Andre opted to tell the landlord about. |

 Yeah, Andre was supposed to finish the cupboards. Matt's grandpa is going to come in and do them for us after the roof is done. |

 The sourse of our main leak. We want to have this fixed before we do anything else, b/c we don't want water, then dust from the sheet rock all over all our pretty new things. |

Thanks. The house as a whole looks much better since we cleaned, but we're stuck on everything else at the moment. We can't do anything else until the landlord at least fixes the roof and ceiling.

Wow, have fun with all that house work, but at least when you're done, you know it'll be how you want it, and looking good.

It will be some hard work. When you get discouraged just think about how amazing it will look after all of your hard work. Good luck Miki.
