Jeremy and I like projects. We actually fell in love while remodeling a condemned crack house, eleven years ago.
Who says romance is dead?
This year, we bought three foreclosed properties and have been working on them in our “spare time”, where “spare time” = who the hell has spare time? It’s more like we work on them when we’re supposed to be sleeping, or having a “date night”, where “date night” = working on condemned crack houses is romantic!
Two of them are now tenant occupied, thanks to my hard working husband, and the third is now in the line of fire. Guess what? There’s a reason we saved it for last.
I now present to you, our newest crack house project:
See the floor? Let’s take a closer look, shall we?
That would appear to be a hole. In the kitchen floor. Yes, hmmmm. It seems they built the floor right on the DIRT, and now it’s completely rotten, giving off a lovely damp, earthy smell.
Know what else we’ve discovered? They put some walls up to create new rooms but forgot to nail the walls to anything. So they were just held on with some tape and paint at the joint between the walls and the ceiling.
Yes, people, we do love our projects. We’re the proudest slumlords you’ll ever meet.

Oh, what I wouldn’t give to meet my soulmate at a crackhouse…
Can’t wait to see your progress!
Holy crap.
That house is horrible.
Good luck?
Actually, I am jealous. I have always harbored secret crack house renovation fantasies. Sigh.
Not sure how you are going to fix that floor though?
Sorry about the floor, it was the first house I ever built and I had no idea what I was doing. I’ve built a few more since then…interested?!
Wow what a nightmare! Good Luck I hope you and your hubby are miracle workers also.
Oh wow, I can’t even imagine. I am doing some some projects in my own home and it consumes every second of my day. Three houses? and issues with those houses? I don’t think I could do it. I’m sending positive thoughts your way!
I so admire anyone who takes on any type of home improvement. I can’t take the messiness and I’m terrible with my hands. I wish I had the patience. Any chance we could see some before and after photos of the other properties. I pbet hey are amazing
Oh. My. Goodness. I think you all need to alert the media because I think this could be the mother of all home-renovation shows!
You guys are brave or crazy. Not sure which. 🙂
Some time ago, I really needed to buy a car for my firm but I did not have enough cash and couldn’t order anything. Thank heaven my father suggested to take the loan at reliable creditors. Therefore, I acted that and used to be happy with my car loan.
