We removed the carpets and underlay (which stank of fish - yuk) and 3 layers of nasty wallpaper from every room. We washed the walls down with sugar soap. The sofa (complete with spider egg sacs on the underside - lovely) was taken to the dump amongst other large pieces of furniture also left by the old lady that lived here, including a double bed with mattress and a single bed with mattress. We painted the interior of the whole house - the walls, ceilings and woodwork with 3 coats of paint including primer. Can't believe we achieved all this in a window of just 2 weeks before we moved in. It was exhausting.
