Housework on a Whole New Level

We are currently working to buy a house.  A cute little brick and cedar place with 3 bedrooms and a 2 car garage.  And we are getting a terrific price on it!  So the problem?  It needs a serious cleaning before we can move in.  The previous tenants were renters and they left the place a mess.  There is drywall to patch, painting to do, lots of scrubbing and mopping, and just about every door in the place has been damaged.  This morning I spent 3 hours pulling nails and staples from the wall so that we can go in this evening and repair drywall and start painting walls and ceilings.  The sad part is, there are still staples and nails in the walls in most every room.  I know we are getting a great price on the house because it has new plumbing, new central heat and air, and a new roof including new decking.  It is in a nice neighborhood close to the school and it has a nice size yard.  I know it will be worth the work in the end, but right now, I need a vacation!
