Our Nightmare at the Nursery Rental House : Flower Hill Farm

🌸 Nicole from Flower Hill Farm is beginning a significant renovation and cleanup project on an overrun house left in disrepair by previous tenants.

🏚️ The house was left filled with waste, including pet and human excrement, resembling a scene from the show "Hoarders."

👷 Despite the many issues, including the need to remove large amounts of trash and address structural and cosmetic damage, Nicole sees the potential and charm in the house.

🌼 Nicole is taking on this renovation project with enthusiasm, with plans for landscaping and refurbishing the house while dealing with the emotional time of her grandfather's passing.

💰 The renovation process is costly but essential, as Nicole aims to restore the house to its former beauty, having previously been well-maintained and adorned with intricate details.

🔨 Nicole faces practical challenges such as peeling wallpaper layers that have been in place for decades, splintering and unsalvageable wood flooring, and the strong, lingering smell of pet urine.

🎨 The restoration includes aesthetic choices like painting the walls with Alabaster from Sherwin-Williams, creating a bright and clean backdrop for future decoration.

🤢 The previous state of the house was extremely unhygienic and hazardous, necessitating professional cleaning services to remove contaminants and allowing for a healthier renovating environment.

📦 There's a sense of future community and family connection, as Nicole's aunt will be moving into the house once the renovation is complete, enhancing its ties to the adjacent nursery.

🙏 The former tenants have agreed to reimburse Nicole for the initial cleanup costs, suggesting a resolution to at least part of the financial burden brought on by the house's condition.
