Rough start

We arrived at our new abode Friday morning with happy anticipation of a new beginning. It was not a happy beginning. We walked into a mess with the semi full of our stuff following closely behind. The refrigerator had old food in it and was filthy. The trash was full. The carpets were stained with pet urine, a dead mouse was in the washer, and the list goes on.  I frantically called the property manager in tears. I had just finished scrubbing a house top to bottom the night before and did not expect to find my new home filthy. He of course, did not answer on the first or second try, so I preceded  to call another bajillion times. On the bajillion and one call he answered and I cried. I told him of the mess and the scum and the dead mouse and the pet urine in all the carpets. He was kind and listened and apologized for the mess. He had a cleaning crew, a carpet inspector and someone to fix the locks by mid day. Some carpets are supposed to be replaced and others shampooed. It was a rough start, but the home is coming together and it's going to be perfect.

This fridge has NEVER been cleaned

Pet urine, getting new carpets soon.

This fingernail polish is all over the house 

Then there was this. The previous tenants left the basketball hoop
up but emptied the base which blew over onto my car during night # one.
