NONE .
AND I MEAN. NONE. OF THE BEDROOMS
ARE LIVABLE.
we're all sleeping in the only space that could be adequately cleaned. the living room is the only room that doesn't make me want to fucking vomit.

the stove and microwave don't work.

found out an hour ago that there's no functioning shower. the bathtub faucet handle puller is rusted shut. my aunt and uncle, for god knows how long, didn't. even. fucking. bathe.
oh and the toilet doesn't flush properly either.

there's four bedrooms in this house, all varying degrees of disgusting, but this. this takes the fucking cake.
that is black mold on the walls.
and to think that this was the room i was going to take. how does it get this bad

there's just... so many layers to this shit cake but i am so exhausted from enduring a 30 hour drive from California only to come home to a dwelling teetering on the definition of shanty that I can't process anything. i just want to go into medically induced coma
i'll.. maybe vent more tomorrow morning.
god.
what the fuck
found out that 'dirt' in the corner is ferret shit.
they got rid of their ferrets three years ago
even worse: the ferrets were moved out of that room years before that. that shit has probably been there for at LEAST half a decade

this is where the broken stove was before the junk removers took it
.... Yeah

my mom had to make a makeshift cap for the gas line because there was residual gas in there.
UPDATE: WE HAVE RATS
realtor just left, it's basically 50/50 that we'll have to sell it as is and get the fuck out
i kinda hope that's the case.

progress
imagine having to use a putty knife to get the grime off
so now there's this freezer in the basement that's been there since... probably the 70s?
it's locked, which makes me...
understandably fearful
Mow suggested ways i could pick the lock. won't attempt without a mask

have to turn that diamond cylinder somehow
soooo rather than just... move the entertainment center that used to be there to remove all of the carpet, my uncle opted to just cut around it. left a shitty patch of carpet in the corner
just got the verdict on the house:
my rich uncle (who actually owns the house) wants us to do a full remodel
first step is to ready the two bedrooms upstairs for me and my brother, professionals will come in to do the kitchen

my cousin and my good uncle came out to help us unload the moving truck
90% of it didn't even go into the house

it's worth the clarification:
shitty uncle / mike / "dude": the asshole who used to live here, reason for the house's condition
rich uncle / aaron: the actual owner of the house, the person whose money we're spending on the remodel
good uncle / jamie: lives close by, helps a lot

fortunately i was granted a space of my own last night, which includes ready access to my workstation
i forgot how soft my bed was

i guess aaron has... technically always been our landlord? except he doesn't demand rent or pay utilities, he just asks that we take care of the house so that it sells for more than what we bought it for
we had to call an emergency exterminator
we all woke up this morning to hundreds of ants crawling all around the kitchen floor

I can't believe the stars my mom painted when i was a BABY still show up through their paint

soooo the sump pump was hooked up illegally. it drains into the sewer, which is now backing up into my bedroom
it's up to three inches now. my desktop is still down there. really afraid
the water receded and thankfully didn't reach my workstation. cleaning and plumbing come tomorrow. set up in one of the Danger Rooms tonight but it is what it is.
don't know if i'll sleep down there again. my box spring is most definitely ruined at this point. thankfully my mattress was saved. i'll be able to Sleep at least

i dozed off a bit, but anyway.
the basement is mostly finished. just needs some trim to be put up.

shitty uncle screwed us over yet again.
there's a tree that the village has been demanding that he get removed as it's cutting into the lines of several households, including our internet line.
he's a lazy fuck and now it's our problem. that's another expense.

kitchen's being completely gutted tomorrow, so we've erected a makeshift kitchen downstairs.
it's got a large freezer, two mini fridges, a hot plate, air fryer, microwave/mini oven (and also an air frier) and literally all of our kitchen stuff.
