The electricity is on!
A neighbor complained about the trash and are stuck trying to figure out how to haul trash with this small amount of money we have left!
The Seller suggested we move the trash to the garage for now until more progress has been made and then we will have it hauled when they can send more money for the hauling, so Ray moved all of the garbage and debris (except the large trash bags) to the garage. That worked out fine,. now the property looks better on the outside.
Ray tested out the paint machine by painting the foyer wall. I cleared one whole wall in the family room and Ray painted that, as well. We had planned to keep the family room as is and just find a way to paint the bottom wall a separate color, but since it is all painted-over wallpaper and we have no touch-up paint, Ray said we would need to remove it all. I Sadly obliged; that room was the best looking in the house! More work... yikes.
By the end of the day, we had removed most of the wallpaper in the family room and Ray painted 3/4 of the room. It actually looks a lot better, because we used a much lighter color, which really opens up the room.
We will return on Sunday to continue working to make this house beautiful. I couldn't take photos after we finished this day, because it was already too late, so I will update with photos of our progress on Sunday...
