New house, update

I want to try to update you guys on the house as time goes by. i'm going to put some before and after pictures, hopefully, lol.

we went over there yesterday, and i swept a little, and wiped the sinks and toilet, lol. i'm trying to take it easy until tomorrow, which is when we said we'd be starting to clean and paint and stuff. my dad asked me to give my brother until then so he could get his stuff out. welllll, yesterday i kind of helped a little. i cleared out the cupboards in the kitchen and put everything in one spot, and i cleared out his son's room, and put everything on the bed (that's bolted to the wall).

we went to walmart today and got a nice neutral antique white to paint with. i had colors picked out, but i really don't want to decide right now, so quickly. i don't really know what kind of decor i want. and we got a huge bottle of bleach, regular cleaner, murphy's oil soap, huge sponges, paint supplies, a cool mop for wood floors, and pails. lol. we're going to go over there a little bit tomorrow, so we can try to rip out the surround, and start cleaning. i'll probably wait to clean the floors, because it's muddy out, and i'll just be mopping it again later, with all the people tracking stuff all over.

most of the rooms will just need to be cleaned, and later, painted. so that's good. the bathroom really needs some work right now. we're going to tear out the surround, and maybe the wall behind that, depending on how much damage is done behind it. we'll put new drywall up in areas, and then a new surround. we want to keep the tub, so my friend's husband mentioned a tub refinishing kit. i'm going to look into that. we'll get new flooring, and a new sink vanity cabinet, and new toilet seat. the sink, and toilet are fine.
