Clean Up Party!

This place was a MESS when we got it! I'm talking about layers of old, nasty, dusty wall paper nailed into the walls... piles of junk from the late 1800's - the 50's all over the floors... lots of random trash...

Anyways, the whole family came out to help us clean up. After a hard days work, things began to look a little better! These aren't the best pictures and they don't capture the full essence of the day, all our amazing helpers, and the drastic difference we all made in the place, but they will give you an idea.

Here are some before pictures:

Here's a picture of Clayton cleaning (notice he has to wear a mask! We all wore one that day.. the dust was intense):


One of the many random news papers we found covering the floors from the 40's and 50's.

We finally got all that wall paper off the walls!



Here's a picture of the trailer we filled to the brim with trash (this was only about half of the trash that came out of our house that day) :
