This is the pit. My camera didn't even want to go into this spot. You can see just how far my arms would reach to scrub to clean it. The cupboard under the sink made this look like it belongs in the Temple.
The dirty that would not have made me gag if it was under the kichen sink.
Under the kitchen sink now. D'Kota told me that I should have taken a picture of what it looked like before I cleaned it, but I really do not want pictures of that. They will be in my memory forever. To the left of this picture was a shelf of some sort ( and of no real purpose) that only covered the mice nests. I think I scared the cable T.V. guys that day. They were here installing the T.V. Dish and I was screaming and cursing up a storm removing that shelf and vaccuuming, steaming, and bleach scrubbing under there. But look at it now!! :) Wow!
A look at the master bedroom. That is my closet (that is not attached to the floor at all!) And a little linen closet. There was mice tracks on the top of the closet as well as all over inside the closet and every shelf inside the linen closet was covered as well. You can also see some things I don't know where to put. And two bags of clothes that do not fit (the closet, not me) so off to the thrift store they go.
Yes I know, another one.
The only place to put the computer which I hate!! I want it in the frontroom where everyone can see it. And yes these pictures are back wards. Just pretend you are walking backwards and everything is fine.
The view from the door into the master bedroom. The bathroom to the left and the computer to the right. The furnace (one of them) and Eric's closet. And yes more stuff that does not have a place in this house.
Another view of the grand entrance into the master bedroom.
Dylan's room. It is amazingly not dirty. It is just so small that it looks dirty all the time. To the left is his closet that is also stuffed full of things and you can see that the piles are leaking out of the closet in the form of rubbermaid containers. He can't even lay his rug out all the way, there is no room.
Here we have the view from in front of the T.V. . The back door to the left, the door to D'Kota's room and the door to Dylan's room. To the right just after the furnance is the boys' bathroom. That is Rufus on the floor there.
See how big this room is? I am standing in the kitchen.
My laundry space. Nice huh?
The front door can not be opened when I am doing laundry. Of course I can not open my dryer door all the way either.
The view of the kitchen from the living room. They had the fridge where the white shelfing is at first. So you felt like you had just walking into a tunnel when you first came in the house. And yes, everything is leaning to the left. Everything falls off the top of the fridge and I have no room for my food storage. I have done only little shopping sense moving here. I do not know where to put it when I do.
Right now it is all on the white shelves to my left and on top of the fridge and inside the microwave stand with all the things that already belong in there.
Another view, I think I sneezed and took this one at the same time. Sorry.
The stove that I had therapy with (and I scared the poop out of it, didn't I Mom? OK, it was mouse poop. But there was A LOT of it. And I scared about 90% of it out) and the cupboards that I pulled the doors off from. The one that is left I could not get off. Some one painted over the screws that I then dicovered were stripped. OK, that was funny and I didn't even mean for it to be. Get it? Painted over, stripped? Never mind. Any who, I think it makes it look better and you can now see that even thou I am not Betty Crocker, I do not have room for all my dishes and kitchen appliances. But the stove is clean, thank you SO much Mom!!!!! To the right is the only draw in the whole kitchen. And the mice love that one. It has my silver ware in it. Yum!
At least the stained glass has a nice place to hang. Don't ya think? It is pretty nice piece. Bought it at a yard sale in Fort Collins, CO when we went to visit Ashly. I paid $7.00 for it. I know, good.
This is my saving grace here in this house. Ever sense Allie dissappeared, this big lug has helped to make all of us feel better. His name is Rufus (Rufus Dufus that is). Isn't he beautiful? He is house trained and only barks when someone is at the door and has decided that D'Kota is his. At least he is nice enough to let D'Kota share the bed. D'Kota gets whatever is left over. And he loves to go with me in the mornings for my walks. He also loves to run on the track with Dylan.
