So we put a lot of pressure on the previous owner to remove ALL of his belongings, trash, and various debris from inside the house as well as outside in the yard. On the day of closing we were disappointed to see that this had not been done. At that point the decision had to be made, would we risk trying to stay in our apartment for one more month and really try to get him to get rid of all of it and then be disappointed once again? We decided to go with it and close on the house. This is what we came home to:
The front of the house with desks, shelves, and chairs leaning on our porch.
inside the house after walking in the front door, we came to our living room with many of the previous owners personal belongings and the heaviest metal desk I've ever seen and certainly the heaviest desk Erik has ever moved.
Our dining room, with a bed, carpet, clothing, and various other items.

Our kitchen, in all its green, light and cream glory piled high with things.
Esau's bedroom with all of it painted over wall paper walls, and holes in the framing around the windows.
Esau's closet filled with trim, wood, holes in the walls, non working plugs, exposed piping from the bathroom.
What a sight it was to see all of the trash in our back yard!!!! This was only a third of what we had removed.
A old worn down shed that we eventually removed, burned and threw away. And of course, the rest of the trash not including all of the stuff from inside the house.
The other side of the shed with trash, etc.
Needless to say it was a HUGE job that we had undertaken.
Were we really ready for what was to come?
