Out With The Old...

The first order of business is to get rid of everything we just don't want.

First on the list; the bugs and mice/rats. The house has been empty for over a year now so the critters have claimed it as their own. Mom already started by putting out some d-CON bait to start deterring the rodents from hanging out. Next week the plan is to bomb for insects. That's one advantage to the house being empty for now.

Next, all of the ugly, nasty curtains are coming down and any random hardware that doesn't seem to have any purpose.

The ugliest curtains in the world

I don't expect Mom to get too crazy with this activity, we will give it another once over when we are there. There are a lot of decisions that are going to be hard to make without actually being there.
