Every heat vent was chocked with and below every appliance were wads of smelly dog hair. It took a year to get everything cleaned out. I gagged when I moved the refrigerator and stove to clean underneath them. The SOB's both broke a couple weeks later and had to be replaced. I guess the appliances couldn't function without the fur. <br />Anyway...the laundry room is on the 2nd floor. The door was cut in 1/2 sort of like a dutch door. A piece of unpainted, rough scrap wood was placed over the cut to make it look pretty for when suckers errr...I mean potential buyers toured the house. But, the backside of the door had huge holes chewed in it, which I assume were done by their dog. It was one of the first things I removed. Another strange thing was the kitchen pantry door had a button lock on the outside. Now, who would want to lock up their tomato soup with a knob button lock that would open with a twist of the handle from the outside? And what or who would be locked on the inside since they had no childred? I sadly concluded they locked their dog in there, too. carlnepahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05840845700615739547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-52482440620184105822016-01-15T18:46:01.734+00:002016-01-15T18:46:01.734+00:00Oh Mary.Oh Mary.Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08491544272730084105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-32049181643687371492016-01-15T18:31:51.164+00:002016-01-15T18:31:51.164+00:00Snap.
