So I had every intention of documenting my home improvement journey after my move (from a friends house on the water, I was house sitting for four years, loving life mind you, to living in a a major fixer upper with my boyfriend but...) Yeah life got in the way, all sorts of happenings, major life changes that took every ounce of energy from us. So the house has not been updated and we have been basically living in a construction zone and it has been tough to say the least. But yet another life change has happened and I am hoping this time I can take you all on a journey of fixing up my new home, upstate New York, in the Catskill Mountains!

 Yay! I am so excited, My honey and I have plans to make this our new home full time at some point but for now we are weekenders trying to fix up a bank foreclosed house and make it a home again.

Disgusting!

But it won't be easy, although for the most part the house has had a lot of updates, like the electric, plumbing, roof, siding and windows are relatively new. But the interior was disgusting, apparently they were not clean people and there was cat pee and poop every where! Ugghh the smell WTF! Euuwwwwww! That's cat pee and poop all over the floor and that is just one room!

 I had to pay a company to come in and remove it and sanitize all the floors, This picture doesn't show the how much or the smell, BE GRATEFUL! It was burning my throat! Ok so your asking yourself why the hell did I buy it then right? Because you can't even buy a brand new car for what I paid for it! So I took the risk and hoping it pays off.

We shall see! Here's a few more before pictures and I will start posting as we continue to work on the house!

Needing curbside appeal!

Camping at home, No heat, No hot water, NO BED!

My helper taking a break!

Did I mention it also has a little guest house? yeah it's even more disgusting!

Till next post folks! :)
