They definitely knew it was worse and having it down on paper with a signature means they basically lied about the problem.<br /><br />Hope all goes well!!!

I'm using that word in a positive way because I have a phobia about mice so that noise you just heard was me screaming from Virginia.<br /><br />Seriously, please be careful with mouse feces. I hope you were all wearing masks and gloves. They can cause illness and in one case, I heard, death, from a man cleaning out a garage. Suggestion: find a nice restaurant in town for Thanksgiving.

I read the whole thing, I didn't know what to expect, but we live in the county which means we find small animals in our pool (I guess they don't know they can't swim) and the cats bring us presents often. But that sounds just disgusting...finding what you found. Good thing you were planning to demolish the kitchen! <br />Debbie :)Debbie @DewdropGableshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10747405747361970506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186929171672526984.post-35786152424679533852013-11-26T12:17:15.962-08:002013-11-26T12:17:15.962-08:00LMAO here and remembering when I bought a house th...LMAO here and remembering when I bought a house that needed renovations (1930's bathroom and kitchen, hole in the ceiling in the master bedroom, original curtains from the 20's). But that wasn't the worst of it - the owners had a terrarium filled with huge black hairy black widow spiders which they kept taking out of the box to handle. I ordered an exterminator before we moved in, just to be sure, and they had to order bug killer from Texas because they'd never dealt with anything like it before. It took me a while to nod off that first night.<br />Hang in there - it will be worth it.<br /><br />And I say to John - commando!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17063046271695834588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186929171672526984.post-20319335323403264482013-11-26T11:53:49.978-08:002013-11-26T11:53:49.978-08:00littlemyoo said it best mouse crap is disgusting.....littlemyoo said it best mouse crap is disgusting..i can cut the head off of a snake but cannot face a mouse (long story) we just bought a house also not a fixer either when the weather got cold we had some move into the kitchen..mouse traps baited with caramels took care of the problem they died with a smile on their face...btw john kmart has boxers on sale lmbo xx chrismonkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03683865560858617008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186929171672526984.post-8179198882317020502013-11-26T11:36:36.038-08:002013-11-26T11:36:36.038-08:00Dearest Suzan, I can remember a time when I would ...Dearest Suzan, I can remember a time when I would have been right in there with you. I really enjoyed renovating. I never tackled something this big. I know it will be awesome when you guys finish. I will be living vicariously through you. Just get plenty of rest. <br />I am visiting family all around the south and enjoying the experience of being with my family. We are especially thankful this Thanksgiving, Kim is doing much better and will be having reconstructive surgery in December.<br />Have a blessed week, GingerSavannah Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14696512605529986289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186929171672526984.post-68131415092370284442013-11-26T11:31:22.214-08:002013-11-26T11:31:22.214-08:00Oh Suzan!

Cause, they'll come back and hide in your new cupboards. Good thing you had that clause added to your purchase. I'm wondering how you're getting meals with no working kitchen though. Are you dining out every day? Take care and I hope there are no more surprises!

I can't believe this is what you are dealing with and I hope something can be done. It SHOULD be done!! I feel so bad and yes grossed out and truly amazed that people can live the way they live. Not to mention LIE. I am thinking of you all the time and hope things turn in a positive way. Tell John to get a grip and GO BUY SOME BOXERS!! It is funny though, my John has a fit when I have to buy him new boxers. He can't stand spending the money on them because he says they are a rip off. To quote him, "I can't believe how much money it costs for three darn pair of underwear.

A wonderful blank slate means infinite possibilities. Oh Oh... this makes me want to demo something. It's so much fun, and I haven't demolished anything in years. I may have to find something to take the sledge hammer to. lol. Too bad you had all that mouse crap to deal with. Seriously yuck!!! I guess our cats keep the mice away in our old house, but it does make me wonder what's in our walls. OK... I'm going into denial mode now. lol.

But I have no mouse crap to deal with. I think I'll just see how many times I can type mouse crap into this comment. Because I think you need a little reminder about the mouse crap. BWAHAHAHAHA!! I'm so evil. Poor Soda. Eddie took a little spill down the stairs too. Dumb dogs. Of course I completely freaked out because I love him more than Phil, but don't tell anyone that.
