Might be getting a new "job"

[Mint]

you'll be supprised at what you'll find. I do part-time labouring and when we get a house that wants an extension, we sometimes have to lift carpets. We lifted this one carpet, it had never been cleaned in the whole 5 years it had been there, lifted it and the flooring underneath had rotted, maggots, and everything had nested on the damped out wood.

sounds easy but seeing that almost made me sick.

We won't be removing carpets but we will be taking out the old rotting away furniture etc. I've already been to one of the houses, there is a sofa that use to be a cream colour, it's all black and brown and stinks. Full of dirt and grime like most of the house which all needs cleaning. I'm having second thoughts but I'm at least going to give 1 house a go.

Before the economy tanked we used to buy cheap houses, then fix them up and sell them. Now we just have apartment buildings, what a nightmare!

I don't understand what we are doing that much. I think we have been buying to let houses while they are cheap so when they rise we will make money and the rent will of covered the cost or something. :S We don't usually buy houses as bad as the ones I will be cleaning but a few have popped up that are real bargains.

I have to say that sound like my worst nightmare! Good luck though. Hope your friend has a compulsive cleaning disorder!

LOL, I watch How Clean is your house, and i must say you are one brave boy doing that kind of Job. I don't think i'll be able to do anything like that. A matter of fact, i couldn't! I have a bad stomach and anything sickening looking makes it turn.

Cleaned out an old mans house a few years ago, lift up the carpets as he had FIVE lots of carpets on each other and there were slugs, maggots and there was a creature that looked like a snake to me. Ew it's disgustin, couldn't do those jobs.

His Kitchen was a complete junkyard the cupboards were completely black like a fire had taken place inside in kitchen. Couldn't do it.

Good luck, hope you don't find any rats inside!
