Moving house is very stressfully. I'm so happy for you to finally have your home. God bless you and enjoy your home. I had a friend used to clean for a living. She told me one of the hardest jobs was cleaning a new home, after the builders. Take it easy.
I would suggest step stools before tearing everything apart. That is a much more costly route than a few step stools.
White vinegar helps remove hard water build-up. It also prevents black mold.
I Love Your Beautiful House Jill ♡ I Hope The Bugs Stayed Gone ! I Just Got Home From The Beach & Brought Home A Hotel Pillow By Mistake & I Now Have Sand Fleas They Chose Me As The Host & Burrow Into Your Skin . Do You Have Any Advice For Getting Rid Of Them? God Bless You Beautiful Ladies . Thank You For Everything You Do For Us 🥰 I Am Always Praying For You 🙏
It's a beautiful house, Jill. Once you get it cleaned and all the neglected maintenance taken care of, I'm sure you will love it. It just takes time to make it yours.
Jill, your house is adorable despite all the problems you have discovered. May God continue to bless and to keep you.
Whatever they gave you for the cleaning fees wasn’t enough! I know you’re all about saving money and doing things on your own, but in this case, I would hire a professional cleaning company or something, just for sanity purposes and bill it to the realtor/seller, if possible.
My thoughts exactly. Why kill yourself cleaning??? Leave it to the pros. It will save your sanity. ServPro cleaned each apt in my complex after a fire. Just a little word of mouth ad for them. They did an excellent and thorough job.
I would have a cleaning company that uses steam on all surfaces to clean your home. Then it would feel
clean.
The Realtor sold the house. Realtors are not responsible for cleaning the houses before they list or before closing, (though I have done that *after* a supposed cleaning crew came through and did.not.clean similar to what we see in the video). That yuck did not happen overnight, especially the mess by the washer, or the fridge. Probably someone swept and wiped and vacuumed the top layer of yuck away. Believe me, people don't take enough time looking at homes they buy. Nothing against Jill, but every buyer needs to test the water system for water pressure, discoloration, toilet function, sink, tub, shower, dishwasher, and look at every surface to assess condition. I mean it's so bad at this house that they are laughing instead of crying! I am horrified but still Jill is so cute the way she says things I was awwing and chuckling throughout the video. I want to send a cleaner out there for her! But I likely can't. Still, I would if I had the funds! I hope for both Tawra and Jill that things run smoothly asap.
Maybe go through and make a list of things You wouldn't have expected (like the faucet, which I really like btw) so the cleaning company doesn't miss those things!!🙂
Jill you are a beautiful woman without makeup. Your hair looks good. The house is wonderful. Sorry for the problems. Yeah plants either bring gnats or aphids or ants. Hope things go better. Thank God for a great son in law.
A frog in a pot gap might show up, too!!🙂
Wow! In spite of the drawbacks, you have a gorgeous home, Jill. Certainly, one to be proud of. The negatives will disappear soon.
Beautiful home , Sorry they left it a mess. It was beautiful during the showing. You guys make me smile. No matter what you go through you guys ALWAYS make the best of it. ❤🏠 I absolutely love your mother & daughter relationship. 🪴
Sorry ladies but the faucet has to go, not that much to replace it fortunately. Washer too probably. Both are a health hazard . Save your energy for the bug and air vent cleaning. I can’t reach the bottom of my washer either. So annoying to keep reaching on my tiptoes. The house looks lovely I’m sure you will enjoy it after these hurdles!
I agree, I mentioned above that soaking the faucet head in bleach may be a solution, but replacing a kitchen faucet is not that expensive, and would give much peace to mind! I say REPLACE it!!!
What a beautiful home...we have the same exact refrigerator, stove, microwave and dishwasher...we've had ours since 2014...they've held up wonderful so far.
WOW!!!🙂
So sorry for the unexpected issues. All that aside, your house is lovely!
I was wondering, Jill, if a faucet with a longer handle/different design would be easier to reach than moving the sink forward and having the hole to repair in the back?
I wonder if she did a big farmhouse sink if it would cover that space in the back. But it’s granite maybe a granite company can come place a matching piece or a metal piece placed in the gap would look ok. I think a big farmhouse sink would be nice for Jill. It blows my mind. My mother and I are so much like those two. We have a crazy autoimmune disease that’s been plaguing us for decades and we are penny pinchers, thrifters. I think them I think Jill and my mom could talk for months. We are so happy for them. My mom and I are in Tennessee suffering through this weather. We would very much like that nice town they moved to. But I think I’m going to central Florida for sunshine and a constant temperature. Begging my mom to come live with us but she’s hanging tough, maybe one day. Of course I want us all to live like the waltons. Was kinda hoping Jill would have stayed in the basement. But she hung tough too and got a gorgeous home. So happy for her. For the entire family! Leslye
Sorry for the disastrous start to your move in, Jill you will have your new home looking and smelling beautiful. I had the same experience 10 years ago, however I love what I have done to my home, everything takes time. Blessings to you from Ireland. 🇮🇪❣️
OMG...you have my sympathies! When I moved into a big house, the filth was so bad inside the kitchen cupboards, refrigerator, stove, etc. that it took me and 2 maids 3 days to clean...and we didn't do the refrigerator (I demanded my husband buy me a new one, immediately). Every spot in the house was filthy, except the walls, which had all just been painted. That is horrible, to have to go clean someone else's filthy mess, when you're trying to get moved in. So when I sold that house, I had the maids clean it spotless, top to bottom, repaired every little thing (that I could have left as is), and left knowing I had left that place WAY better than I had found it. I hope you have better luck with the rest of the new home process! ❤️
WOW!!!🙂
I can't reach into the bottom of my washer either, so I have one of those "grabbers" for getting dropped things off of the floor. Works great
I use a “grabber” also.
Mom's house was professional staged. Don't give up, it looks like it has good bones. I think you could find a better faucet and probably not have to cut the kitchen counter. Life is always an adventure. Take it one step at a time and it will turn out great : )
Yes her house was definitely professionally staged! I'm shocked that the realtor even allowed it to be listed before being cleaned! It's a beautiful house and I'm sure Jill will bring it up to snuff!
I feel a little better about the mess I'm dealing with knowing I'm not the only one! Also, it could be much worse. God didn't promise no troubles but He is with us! 💖💖💖
It’s so lovely!! She will fill it with warmth and love.
Nothing worthwhile is ever easy. It’s a lovely home.
So true! 😂 just talk to my bad back etc. Strong faith and a sense of humor has gotten me through 61 years. 🌸😁🤪😝🙃😁😬
It'll take time to get it up and running😆 No doubt you'll have it looking beautiful before long👍🌻
Jill’s home is beautiful After a good
Cleaning and a few repairs She will
Have a great home Good luck Jill
Once you get the deep cleaning done, what a pretty house you'll have. We use a halo, rechargeable power bank for power outages you could run a small portable heater. We've got a halo in each car. Several times we've used it to start cars, our own and others. During a hurricane, my sister used 2 halo's to power, fans, lamp, laptop and charge phones. Hope you can enjoy your new place soon Love you guys.
When we moved into our house it took me one week working full time all day (not exagerating) just to clean the 48” wolf range. Multiple cans of Easy Off. We even had to lift up the metal top so I could clean grease trapped below. Had to order new parts. Prev owner was divorced mother of 3, I bet she let kids do the cooking AND they fried steak every night to accumulate that much char and grease. I was in tears, we paid 1.75 mill (in CA!) for this? There was no hot water in one bathroom faucet and no cold water in another bathroom faucet so we would have to brush our teeth in one bathroom and run to another bathroom to wash face. Plumbers were here a solid day trying to fix all the problems. Such a stressful time I’ll never forget. But we got past it…and I got pretty new faucets!
Oh, it’s going to be gorgeous when you re finished!
Jill, I am happy for your being in your new space. Oh, the trials that you are enduring now will fade as it comes together and you enjoy living in a clean home. I love the neutral color theme with chrome appliances. You are an overcomer and a survivor! After seeing the furnished pictures it turned out lovely. God bless you!
I think you may be confused unless I'm the one who's confused! I thought the photos at the end of the video were of the previous owner's furnishings.
that was the previous owners stuff
I can’t reach the bottom of my washer either. Short girl problems! I use a pair of long-handled BBQ tongs to reach everything.
Me, too. I use Oxo 12 inch tongs with silicone tips and hang them on a nail next to my washer. Solves the problem perfectly.
Jill and Tawra, I'm sending you a cosmic hug and prayers for patience to see this through!🥰💕
Mom just needs a step stool. Congratulations, it is a beautiful property.
That's what I would do.... Something wide, padded, low so it doesn't tip
It's a lovely home and in no time at all, it will start feeling like it.
Jill, your house is absolutely beautiful. Enjoy it!
I've found that the newer toilets are very tall -- for some that is great, but those of us in the shorter category are thankful for squatty potties. Also for the newer washing machines that are top load - I need a short step bench to step up onto in order to reach down into the drum to get the clothes. Seems like designers are assuming all of the people are becoming taller! Praying for rest from your challenges with making this house your home. It is a gorgeous place and you deserve a beautiful place.
Spots of Your comment I just had to chuckle at. 🤓
A hand held steamer works wonders in cleaning and would have taken care of that aphid issue! My southern mom made me help her wash walls once a year. Maybe enlist the kids!
All in all a gorgeous house and yard!
AWE, absolutely beautiful now. Tawra, you and your husband Mike and Jill did a fantastic job beautifying Jill's home. That's a great daughter.. PROUD OF YOU.
Ms. Jill, you are beautiful, never hide yourself.
I am so sorry they left the place like that, did they just stop cleaning once they knew they had a buyer?
Please give yourself grace. Do a little at a time.
You will have it stunning in no time at all.
If those are granite countertops, you just can’t move the sink forward and “repair” natural stone. Buy a different faucet.
It will all be worth it in the end. You'll have a Nice House. Hang in there. TFS.
Wow! What a pretty home. One thing I've learned in my almost 60 years...before moving into a new home, have it professionally deep cleaned. They do EVERYTHING, from washing screens in windows, to cleaning out fireplaces. It's expensive...but worth every penny.
We just bought a house in July. Our lender warned us to do a walk-through right before signing closing paperwork and NEVER let the seller stay in the house a minute after closing-not even to have access to the house. They have seen horror stories over the years. Our seller had told her realtor that she had a "professional cleaning" done. HA not what we saw. But overall it was minor and I knew I would be sanitizing everything anyway so no real issues. Hope you enjoy your new home!!!
Your new home looks pretty. I would look for a new faucet before moving the sink. You may be able to find one that is easier to reach with out moving the sink. Hang in there. Things will improve and get better.
Oh, Jill, I’m so sorry!! Once cleaned and fixed you’ll probably love it!!
When we bought our townhouse, and walked in there after closing, the laundry machine was on, doing laundry. Previous owner's stuff was still in the house and there was fresh dog poop in the garage... sorry about your situation.
Beautiful! What a lovely home ❤️ once you finish the cleaning I hope it goes more smoothly for you I think it’s a gorgeous home!
I love your new home, Jill! It's so quaint and cozy! I'm sorry the previous owners left a mess and mold issues! Like others have suggested, just get a new faucet or perhaps a farmhouse sink and faucet?
It’s amazing what gets revealed once people’s things are removed, same happened to my daughter, it’s horrible sinking feeling, I’m hoping you get things turned round Jill, they should be ashamed leaving a house in that condition x
Hi! If I had walked through that home when your Mom did, I would have purchased that home asap! The possibilities are lovely/beautiful. After she gets through the current grit and grim, there is a Diamond 💎 in the rough waiting for her! Much love to her, looking forward to many videos from her new home! 🏡
Jill, your place looks beautiful. I'm sorry you've had to deal with all that stuff, but I know you will make it wonderful.
If we can't laugh, we will just cry. You both are wonderful
It’s a lovely house. I am so sorry going through all this. We move to new house in end of June. We asked for old owners to clean and remove all junk. They agreed but it’s October and I am still cleaning and fixing the house
Jill, I have been worried about you! Even if you moved into a brand new house there would be things you would need to do, but it is never nice to have to clean up after filthy people. I pray for your strength to help you through this. You have a helpful family. I’m a shorty myself and no one who isn’t cannot understand the frustrations that come with it. I wish many more happy days in your new home. (This too shall pass, you have forgotten worse things than this)
Let me grab my popcorn, been waiting to see this house....*MGM lion roaring*...The house is gorgeous with so much room. Jill you are so funny. You're laugh is contagious. Oh Jill you always look beautiful! Very nice backyard too for lots of flowers and plants. Lots of memories being made...already LOL
Just thinking I'd add this, the toilet height might be rectified with a small platform base in front for now, only saying this bc as we age we wish the toilets would be higher for ease of use getting up, looking towards the future. As for the washing machine, I had a Samsung (super large capacity) that was so deep I couldn't either reach the bottom and I hated that. A safe stool just high enough to use could be helpful. Or one of those hand grabbers to reach clothes maybe. With the cost of washers nowadays, you'd hate to replace sooner than you have too.
The house I'm in I had to take a putty knife to the ceiling fans and all the wood trim and wash down all the walls. The old guy that lived here made fried food in his fry daddy everyday so everything was caked with a thick layer of grease with chunks of dust.
At least you're laughi ng instead of crying!! I too bought a home that was not maintained but we got money off to fix. New appliances, paint, shorter toilet, cleaned the floors.. Now looks great. I too can't reach the bottom of my washer and I use BBQ tongs to get the clothes out. I also invested in a very sturdy step stool so I feel comfortable standing on to get to the top shelves.
I know with your family's help and prayers, your little home will come together and you'll be happy.
It really is a nice looking home. It looked so put together and tidy. I'm sorry you have to work so hard before organizing your own things. Just keep plugging along at your own speed. You'll get there. You have good help too. 💕
What a beautiful little house. I’m a single mom 2 girls and it reminds me of the house I’m in. Still putting some work into getting it clean - I been here for 2 years now. God will give you strength.
LOL, I wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry! Jill, you made sure your home was spotless when you sold it, just to end up with a home you need to scrub. Ugh!! It will be beautiful when you're finished and settled in. At least you're laughing!
POOR MOM, How many of us could stand up to this scrutiny? LOL
God Bless You...
It’s a nice house. Once everything is cleaned and fixed for her, I’m sure she can relax and enjoy it.
It is so wonderful that you can laugh together instead of crying about it...hard work but it will get done then you can enjoy your home :)
The house is lovely, just take it one day at a time , use laughter to get thru this mess...stress & worry will only slow u down & make yourself doubt if u made the right move...u will succeed in this endeavor. It will be totally beautiful when its all fixed up to ur liking. Good luck & may u find much happiness & love in your new home.
Awww tell your mom she’s cute💕she looks fine and you too🤗
I had a similar problem, although not as bad, I thought they were fruit flies. After checking the internet, I decided they were coming from the drains. So following the suggestions I found. I poured baking soda and vinegar in the drain. It foamed up. Then put the stopper in and left it over night. In the morning I had a kettle ready, boiled the water and poured it in the drain. It worked and I haven’t seen another drain fly since.
I just had the problem in the kitchen, one of the TH-cam videos I watched, had them in the bathroom drains as well.
Good luck, there is a solution to every problem.
Warning: read the ingredients in your cleaning products, DO NOT mix anything that has ammonia with anything that has chlorine, it produces a colorless, odorless deadly gas.
I follow your channel and know you will tackle and overcome these challenges. I look forward to following your journey.
I'm sure the home will be nice once it's clean but some people just dont care how they leave a house once its sold.
Poor mama! Sorry for all the mess. Patience, God will be with you. This will all pass and your joy will be full.
I have those short person issues too! Nice looking house which you'll enjoy once it's fixed up.
Like someone else commented, how can a house look so neat and clean for showing and get so dirty by closing? That is incredible. I'm so sorry. You guys are tough and resilient and will get through this. And it's an adorable house! You know those Rubbermaid steps for little kids to reach the sink to brush their teeth? That's what I use to reach into my washer and top shelf of pantry (where the stool is stored). Just a thought. Best wishes to you!
Once it's truly clean it's going to be adorable
Oh how awful for you!! I hope & pray that in a few months you'll be settled into your new home & it will be clean & lovely for you!🥰Blessings from South Australia💕🐨
Love your new home. Just take one day, one chore on at a time. You and your sweet daughter are examples of fortitude and persistence. Congratulations on your beautiful new home. 🏠
So sorry for Jill she certainly doesn’t deserve this stress 😟❤️🙏🏻 Didn’t know aphids could be that disasters 😱
I am so sorry this all has happened. I know it is a lot of work for you. It makes me tired just thinking about it. On the bright side, the house is very nice and will be beautiful when you finally get it clean.
You'll have that place shining in no time. It's beautiful - it'll all be worth it 💛
After you get it cleaned….. it’s a beautiful home …. Congratulations
Love your new home Jill. You look great! I would buy new kitchen faucet! I can't wait to see it all decorated. Yes, I would be having a stiff drink#!!
That's sad that the house was so gross. Glad it's getting better. It's gross that the previous people lived that way. 😕
My goodness you girls have had it rough. 😳 But all cleaned up it looks great! Best wishes. 😘
So sorry Jill about the condition your home was left in. Did you do a walk through before signing? I’d never heard of that until I sold my condo and the buyer came through again the morning before we met at the realtor’s office to sign. I wonder if maybe the house was in foreclosure or somehow the owner was forced to sell and he/she “retaliated” when they moved out by leaving it in such bad shape! I hope things go smoother for you and your house in the days ahead. 🙏🏻
Oh that mess had to have been there for a long time, with the mold and all. Yeah in Ohio we do final walkthroughs within 48 hours of closing. I just can't believe a cleaning fee was charged on the new house, and the fridge was left so dirty!! ugh.
@@GinaKayLandis
EXACTLY!... THOSE PPL WERE NASTY AND THAT'S HOW THEY LIVED (YUK)!... THEY DIDN'T DESERVE SUCH A NICE HOME...
@Vicky I won't make that assumption, because many times people are in ill health and can't manage their home, snd may have noone to help.
@@GinaKayLandis I was thinking this very thing. Sometimes just old age causes people not to be able to do what they once could and it's heartbreaking for them.
But wasn't the video clip at the end where she initially looked at the house?
It had obviously been staged, but it was also clean.
It seems to me that you'd have to really work at getting a house that dirty in such a short time.
Jill, I am so sorry about what you are having to put up with in what was to be your dream house. I hope that you are documenting more than what was shown on this VLOG as some of that should have been caught & fixed before you moved in.
I'm a fine one to talk as I'm slowly working on my my house, but immediate problems gwt worked on first, before more of the long term ones.
That hillside in the backyard... I hope they put the proper drainage in so your house doesn't "flood" when the snow melts or it rains. As steep as it looks, that would concern me a bit.
May God bring the right people into your life, for any outside wotk you need to have done.
I could see why you fell in love with it. Its a Beautiful home.
Oh, poor Jill! I hope the future holds much better things...God bless you!
This house is cute any home I have bought or rented I cleaned prior to moving in! The bones look good and it will be fine!!!!! I have had worse things than that wow not that bad. Good luck
I had a cleaning business many years ago and empty homes were by far harder and more time consuming to clean. There is no stuff to hide the dirt and grime. People couldn't understand why I would charge more. I aways had to explain cleaning in all your cabinets takes much longer than dusting. And all the yuck that removing your lovely stuff reveals. ** We've all sang the moved into the house and nothing turned out blues. Hope it gets smoothed out soon.
Find an Amway distrbutor and get some laundry detergent andd run the washing machine with nothing in it 4 or 5 times. It will clean the innards of the washing machine. It willclean the drum and everything. If I lived closer to yo I would just bring you some of mine and help Jill XX
I'm so sorry to hear about all these set backs. Really the home tour sure didnt reveal any of those surprises! I hope this all works out for you Jill. You deserve a nice house to call home!
You are beautiful without makeup. Your home is beautiful also. Good luck with all the cleaning (yuck) and repairs & renovations.
What a beautiful house.
You will get it in shape and it will be perfect.
Agree with others that it is a gorgeous house. You will love it once it’s cleaned and you are settled in completely.
Bless your heart; I’m so sorry this has happened to you!
Oh, dear Jill. Don't lose faith. I just looked at the tour of your home and it looks beautiful. I'm sorry for the condition it was left in, you sure had some problems... Some people are just slobs. I'm sure you and your lovely family will have it nice and clean and sink issues taken care of, and you will be so happy.
Oh Jill so sorry for all the work. But looking over the house I am sure it will beautiful cause it is a nice home. It has good bones. Hang in there sweetie it will get better. Thoughts and prayers coming your way and blessings. 😘🙏
Oh you poor woman! I am sending lots of hugs and prayers ❤ 🙏
So sorry but you two crack me up, so glad your mom is near you because we just love her!
It’s a really nice house. I’d probably get a new washing machine though.
Jill, I am so sorry,you are having all these problems! It is a beautiful house!
Jill, this is such a shame the previous owners left the house like this for you. I truly am disgusted with your realtor and previous owners for doing this to you. On a more positive note, your home is beautiful, and once you add your things to your home it will be more beautiful. I see a wonderful future for you in this beautiful home, and many memories to be made at "Grandmas house". Stay healthy and enjoy your new beginning. God Bless.
What did the Realtor do that was bad? There are disclosures in almost every state where sellers have to disclose what is wrong with the house. Maybe the Realtor thought it wouldn't be that bad since the Mom bought it with cash and could possible get someone to do deep cleaning. I am a Realtor and sometimes people want what they want, and ethically we have to follow their instructions (lawfully). Maybe Dave can defend himself, but really, he helped her find a house and she saw with her own eyes the shape it was in. That mess didn't happen overnight.
@@GinaKayLandis depends on what was promised at purchase.
Jill, this video reminds me of a book called "When Bad Things Happen to Good People." I can't imagine being faced with what you've been up against. You are undoubtedly one of the kindest people ever, I guess you're being tested. 🙂 It happens to us all from time to time. Spring will be here eventually and you'll be outside planting flowers. I hope all gets better soon! Best wishes, Rose Marie
🏡🏠🌲🌳 You have a most beautiful little house, and once it is perfectly clean and adjusted to your needs, you too will love it. I know that I certainly would. It is a blessing, and in a beautiful area of the country.
The original walk through looked beautiful. Who woulda thunk?
How stressful! If you don't laugh, you'll cry moments! Coming soon, dining on a dime: cocktails and beer making 😂😂🤣🤣🥰🥰
no idea why this came across my views today and it's 2 years old but Mom looks great with no makeup. You both have beautiful skin!
But it’s a beautiful home. Congratulations. I hope it’s all clean now. When we move I always clean the house we are leaving. I also clean the house we are moving into.
Amazed that the real estate agency didn’t have the house cleaned before you moved in. . It’s a lovely house. The dirt issues are only temporary.
Be kind to yourself. You look radiant without makeup. Your home is so cozy and beautiful. It will be perfect once it is cleaned to your standards. You are a blessed woman loved by God.
