I actually love redoing houses. In the past year we have taken multiple crap houses and turned them into something nice. It doesn't cost much more to add a backsplash and tile in the shower than not, especially since we do the tiling ourselves. This is the most recent house we remodeled. This house we bought off of a guy that works for us at the farm sometimes. He had inherited the house years ago and 2 years ago he had renters in there that trashed the place, then used the can't get them out because of Covid. They actually had kids living in this filth. Holes punched in walls, the side door had multiple indentions from a fist. The pantry is 2'x2' and they had obviously had a dog locked up in there for hours on end day after day. Poor dog had tried to chew his way out of there. so very sad...
