What I'm dealing with.. raggity cottage house

Here's Mama's House

And believe me this looks much better than it has..

I have cleaned up quite a bit in front..
( It's does I suppose have good potential )

the dear neighbor gave me these flowers she said maybe it would make me feel better.. 

and It did a little

These old cement Pots once were very lovely

but since over the years have fallen apart, but she said it gave them their character

an maybe she is right but most of the rest have to go

She as well gave me the flower to go one the top stair.. boy you can see the ware and tare and grease all over the door from my brother

not to fret though I tell myself we can make this better,

I'm hoping

this house was bought by Mama's family who came from Russia My Great grandparents

they bought it in I believe 1925

almost One Hundred years ago. but Mama let it go to pot..

This is the long hallway, right here is Mama's bedroom door. I tend to think I need 

a miracle to happen...

She did have these walls redid a few years ago so they basically just need to be wiped down an re painted and a new floor.. the Living Room the same which is at the end of this hallway

by the front door.. and to the left is a little room that needs to be totally stripped down of its walls and the ceiling scraped the floor is good though it's a nice wood floor.

So there are some good things but a lot is not.

This is the Kitchen as you pass Mama's door 25 years ago they ripped up the Kitchen and left it un finished 

This is my next pile of Junk I have to go through.. 

This large cabinet I had my dad bring it in from a job, they had nothing in here 

But I ended up filling it up with my dishes because I hated using Mama's, my brother's nasty hands 

were always all over her's YUK..

but im going to move this to the other side of the Kitchen where the stove is now...

This is right next to that cabinet you can still see Mama's bedroom door.

and the black grease on the wall in the hallway. The door to the left,

That's the room were my brother was "The Crack Room"  I call it

All this sheetrock has to be replaced

25 years of cigerette smoke crack etc.. and as for that Bedroom it will have to be 

totally stripped head to toe side to side..

it's nasty full of smoke from cigerettes and crack cocaine.. 

very sad siduation

But finally it's over!!!!
No MORE

This is going toward the back area and believe it or not where the bike frame is I just cleaned a huge pile

of boxes and junk. That's what I set outside people took from one pile for give aways and the Garbage man took the recyle..  And glad about it the Garbage man took all the recycling that I put Phew the neighbor didn't think they would but i neatly put it into paper bags 

There is still tons and tons to do but even though it doesn't look like I have done much the kitchen is much 

clearer than it was.. I suppose it's just going to take time and I have to be patient

and keep Praying for God to keep me mently and physically strong

She sure left me a huge mess

and this isn't the half of it

as I go along I will tell you what's going on

I have to I guess look out and beyond.. and keep that inter dream Of this becoming a Christain Home one day and slowly but surely bring it

to reality if possible

But anything is possible with Jehovah God's help

p.s.

today I will be working on that other pile 

trying to prepare for a garage sale soon. Washing things and labeling them

I wish you a most enchanting lovely day

full of love n blessing

with love
