EnD oF ThE FiRst WeEk

So we've just ended the first week of renovations. I can't believe how much shopping we've done to obtain the materials we need to fix up the property! We've probably spent about 4 hours a day shopping between Lowe's, Home Depot, and other specialty stores in town. Our greatest challenge is locating a damn shower pan (that's the bottom part of a shower that catches all the water for those that didn't know)! Who would have thought right? Our showers aren't the standard size so over the last few days, we've been calling various stores around town to find a shower pan that's 36" x 32." No one carries the item because it isn't a standard size. We can have one made, but it will cost us an arm and a leg. Nonetheless...we're still on the hunt.

We've gutted out Unit 1 in two days and we've already started to bring it back to life. It's rained EVERY DAY since we've been here and it's ruined the water in the pool. No one has cleaned it since it's been on the market so now it's filthy. Actually, the first day we arrived to the house, we found about 6 or 7 dead frogs in the pool. They had jumped in the pool for a nice swim but couldn't get out!

Here's a few videos of the unit gutted out:
