In All It's Foreclosure Glory

So I've been back to the house and taken some pictures.  One thing these pictures won't be able to convey is the smell.  Dog/cat urine.  Everywhere.  That's why no one else wanted it.  I'm up for a challenge, besides I've got some tricks up my sleeve.

Wider angle shows a little more of the lot.

There is termite damage to the siding to the right of the door.  And the 2 in the address is broken.  How do you  do that?

This is showing the deteriorated fascia board above the garage door, up at the roof edge.  You can see a little piece hanging down.

This is the east side of the house and it actually has new siding and new vinyl windows. Yea!

This is the rear, it faces southeast. One window and the sliding door are new.  The deck is old and decrepit and has to go.  The wild mulberry and elm trees are pretty, right?  No.


 The original patio is there and the deck is one step up.  It looks like they had a dog run on this side of the fence.  Oh, and that long white thing by the sliding door?  It's a fluorescent light.  Lovely for evenings on the patio.

The siding and windows on this side are in really bad shape. Some of the siding is actually missing as you can see in this picture.



The garage.  Not too bad, but still needs to be replaced.

Living room.  Fortunately, the carpet and pad was torn out by the bank.  But you can't really tell.  It still really smells in here.  You can see the stains on the subfloor.

Fireplace.  The trim belongs on the window to the left.

Two bedrooms and a bath upstairs.

Dining room and kitchen.


For some reason these cabinets are missing.


Main floor laundry.

Master bedroom.

Double closets in master bedroom.

Master bath.  You think that toilet looks bad?  I get to take it out.  I need a hazmat suit!

Master bath.

Balcony.

Bedroom 1

Bedroom 2, both upstairs.

Really badly stained floor.  The tannish spot in the middle is deteriorated carpet pad.  It's stuck to the floor.

Upstairs bath. Same layout as master bath.

Upstairs bath.

Holes punched in the wall leading down to the basement.

The rest of the basement stairs.

Basement family room.

Basment family room.  There used to be a door on the left.  It's gone.

Looks like they had a little water event in the kitchen and flooded the ceiling in the family room.

Furnace/Storage.  The furnace looks like a high efficiency unit so I won't have to replace it.
