The Tenants From HELL!

I'm sure you were wondering why I had fallen off of the blog wagon for a while and well...enough said? This is why our next tenant has been set up on monthly inspections.

After the tenants moved out, we are guessing their 17-yr old son went in and threw a party. I had three garbage bags of beer cans, every floor was sticky and cigarette butts in the sinks. Oh, and don't forget the giant holes they decided to punch in every room! I vacuumed over two years of cobwebs from the plant shelves and scraped two inches worth of grease from behind the oven. These people lived in their own filth and didn't both to pick up a rag when something spilled or splattered. We couldn't walk into the house without masks and gloves for fear of breathing their repulsive germs. Every cupboard and corner held a disgusting and ghastly site. Everything they left from the broken furniture to the canned food in the pantry was taken to the dump. It doesn't surprise me that these people were selfish and extremely lazy but the lack of respect for our property after Ryan was so good to help them out (consistantly) is the part that bothers us the most. If it broke, he fixed it and/or replaced it. She had a hard life and her children made it harder but she refused to show any backbone to teach them right from wrong.

Ryan took a week off of work and I helped him into the very late evenings. It has taken two complete weeks and our children have been raising themselves but it is finally finished and it looks great! WHEW! I will be posting the "after" pictures soon!
