If you can recall a while back we had Brad and Nikki Black living in what is now Drake's bedroom. Well Kade started working for CMJ Sauer back in December, this job is where he cleans out and fixes up foreclosed homes. Anyway, Brad has a little brother that is waiting to go on his mission and so Kade had him start working for him. His name is Beau, he doesn't leave on a mission for a little while now, like fall, I think.
Back in January of 11, Kade made a deal with Brad that he could live in the spare bedroom, if he helped finish the basement. As long as he was helping with the basement he didn't have to pay rent....well that didn't work out so well. They lived with us for 9 months and ended up paying rent for most of the time. Long story short, instead of them ever living in the basement, they stayed in Drakes room, and our basement never got to see any new life. Its all good, when does anything go according to plan?
So....MEET Beau Black
Beau is almost 19 and was living with his parents, long story short, like most teens he no longer wanted to live there. Kade being Kade offered the same deal to Beau. Only problem is that there is no extra room for Beau to live in while working on the room in the basement. HAHA, so he has been sleeping on our couch. Even though it is a nice comfy couch, it has really motivated him to work and get his room done in the basement.
This is nice for him because he can have a free place to live (not counting labor) and I have someone motivated to work on my home! YAY. Plus Kade really doesn't mind another male in the home to help him when he needs big stuff moved around, which seems to happen a lot in our house. I feel like we are always moving a fridge or a couch or something that requires more muscles then me.
WOW, that was more explaining then I thought.
It has been a week since we cleaned out our extra stuff from the spare bedroom, and the room is DONE! OMGoodness, that is the fastest work that has been done to our house. Beau did recruit people to help him. A couple of times he had friends down in the basement mudding or painting.
Two days after cleaning and lots of trips to the DI and It still wasn't clean AHH
After the rooms gross, and I mean water damaged, probably moldy, red carpet was removed.
Close up on the man candy on the door.
When I was going through old stuff this fell out of one of my teen magazines
As a house warming present I put it on Beau's door...yeah I think it got thrown out already haha
The bloody hand print lol, not really, that was on the wall.
There were holes in the wall and door from what looked like someone kicking them, Knife marks in the walls, and this beauty. I don't want to know what kind of crazy lived in this house before us.
I don't know if you can tell but it was a nasty green and pink. I like both of those colors, but they were really bad shades.
They pulled off that nasty wood paneling to find moldy sheet rock. We ended up having to replace sheet rock, more work was put into this room that originally planned.
Mold GONE
Fresh NEW sheet rock.
