We closed on our house this past Thursday and upon receiving the keys, we picked up a friend of ours and immediately proceeded to pull this out of the house. . .
If you look closely, you can see stains. What kind of stains you ask? Just ask this little guy . . .
He was one of several feline and canine inhabitants of the home. They also had a pet lizard, but I doubt he wreaked half the havoc those furry little animals did. I was so afraid the previous owners would leave one of them behind. Luckily, that didn't happen.
There was only carpet in the four bedrooms and the stairs so the removal process went pretty quick.

Rows and rows of pure yuck!
Next, we intend to tackle the walls. They need a good scrubbing down (and vacuum) to remove cat hair and new paint to brighten the rooms. I mentioned in a previous post that I have no desire to live in darkness and these walls scream it . . .
Sorry about the glare, but there are so many windows.
It does feel quite overwhelming at times, but I am excited about this (so excited I forgot to take a picture of the outside of the house). This is our home and it is going to look awesome once we clean it, paint it, lay down new flooring (NO carpet), and finally move in. The outdoor stuff such as landscaping and painting the exterior will come in time. I will do my best to document as we make these incredible transformations.

Hey Rebecca, thrilled to see your dream becoming true. Thanks for providing insight into this adventure. Can't wait to see the refurbishment going on, with your crew sweating in the Texas heat! Yearning for many more photos to come - Stefan
