 Do you ever wonder what happens when the police leave crime scene cleaners are private companies that handle the cleanup after the police are gone Spalling decon is one of the nation's largest cleanup companies handling the aftermath of homicides suicides Decompositions hoarding and much more These are our stories Upon this house was the daughter and son of the owner Contacted us the mother and one of the sisters or the her daughter was living in this home The mother died and the daughter died as well They think the mother just died of natural causes probably from the environment and then the daughter probably committed suicide Right after that so both of their bodies were found in the home They weren't decomposed or anything. They were found like a day or two later So they the rest of the family saw the home and the condition that it was in And they didn't want anything to do with it. So they called me originally for a Cleanout quote and then we kind of negotiated a sale. So I purchased this property We closed on it last week and we are in the process of cleaning it out now I think it's gonna be about a two-week process to clean it out And then the rehab portion will start and the rehab on this house is gonna be substantial Oh my god This is one of my top ten worst houses in my 14 years and The weird thing about this house is that I bought it. So now it's my problem. This is the miserable home. I have done hoarding and storage units for years Probably five or six years This is the most horrendous thing I've ever seen Not including the dead animals that we're finding hence pet cemetery We are here at the Winterhaven property and we are doing a checkup on the status of the renovation and as you can see we've got a ton of raw wood here and The electricians are running all the wire the brand-new wire throughout the whole house We're upgrading it to a 200 amp panel. So follow me and I'll show you the progress So this is our new Master bathroom. So it's gonna be a walk-in shower here Nice tub here in the double vanity here with plenty of storage. This is a gigantic master bathroom I don't even think mine's this big. Then we got our new master bedroom My favorite thing so far about this renovation Is these brand new French doors if you remember this used to be windows There was block on the bottom and windows on the top. This is fantastic. Look how much light this brings in So I'm super excited about this because we're gonna make a really great outdoor area here for the future tenants to enjoy This is the kitchen it looks like not a lot of work's been done But actually it's a lot of work to run all this brand-new electrical wire through plaster walls So they had to make some cuts and stuff and if you remember we removed the soft bits that were above the the old cabinets here And then this is the site of progress right here, this is all of our new Stuff that's going in. We've got our tops. We've got our lights. I Don't know if you remember this bathroom But this is the bathroom that both humans and animals were pooping in the tub Right now it's been completely gutted So one of the bad things when you're totally rewiring a house that has plaster is that sometimes the old wiring is Tapped in so it's difficult to get out So if you can see we had to cut all of the plaster here to run the new wire Glenn Potter, Glenn's Florian remodeling Been doing this for about 16 years I love it Put a new set of fresh doors All the electrical on the outside of the house was ran due conduit on the outside of the house All that had to be removed and rewired They had a window unit on this side shoved with cat litter and cat boxes Full of roaches the whole wall is just live the broaches It was clean and was by far the worst The soil damage from the cats and the dogs on the wall Literally I've never seen anything eat the plaster off the wall like that. That's just Now and you can see the outlet just fell out of the wall. They completely rusted the outlet right off the wall Every time you turn around there's something that's either damaged from cats or roaches. That's just beyond anything we've ever seen I mean this whole wall when we knock the holes in the wall was a lie with roaches that has started pouring out of the walls Same thing with the soft it's when we took down these soft bits all the insulation was filled with roaches No rats yet. I haven't seen any kind of rat crawfish The roaches have been in the kitchen that bathroom in here where all the soil damage was was just insane with roaches And I guess the other the worst thing is by far the electrical I guess other than cleaning the house out The electrical has been a nightmare All the walls are either poured solid with concrete or they have so much slag in them the electricians aren't able to pull the wires through There's not much attic space, so they're You know pretty much living in the attic as they're doing it. I mean there's this But other than that I mean it's once the electrical is done and the walls are apparently to be a pretty quick Process to bring it back to the way it should look. Yeah, you all can have the clean and I'd rather do this any day most definitely probably the Best customer I got so I'd rather do work for her than anybody else if that means anything Hopefully we can keep it going keep more houses coming. That's the plan. Yeah. Yeah, I think once we get past this the hurdle of the electric and the And the bugs then I think everything will move smoothly and hopefully we'll be on schedule Should be good So I came back here to our animal hoarder property here in winter Haven, Florida to check on the progress of all of our construction and The electricians are finally done. So I can start on the roof now The drywall mud is is in the process of drying We have such high humidity here in Florida that the Mud is taking forever to dry. So I brought an AC unit that's portable I brought some fans and I also brought a dehumidifier to hopefully accelerate that a little bit I had to make a design change in the master bathroom Just because I felt it looked a bit cluttered with the nice garden tub the walk-in shower and the double vanity So what I did is I 86 the garden tub and I I elected to go for a nice big walk-in shower With the the head up top and then the jet outside. Okay, let's grab the fucking tub. Let's make a kick-ass fucking shower Kick-ass vanity and look at all the room. We have still so it's not cluttered as far Shit Yeah It's gonna be a really great experience for whoever rents this home because it's a it's gonna be a true master bathroom design With you know a double vanity and stuff. So I you know and we also had to save Money because they stopped making the doors the same size. So we had to go with oak instead of steel Just happen might just call me This one gets like these are the interiors are no problem. I already got so they were all supposed to be delivered And they delivered me three doors. I'm like, where's the rest of my doors and they taught me back today So that's So if that saved us 500 bucks by taking it out Taking the tub out of the master bathroom And then we just basically applied that five hundred dollars to the doors because the oak doors cost more than the steel ones And obviously we couldn't cut the steel ones to to fit the current doors because this house is pretty old Did you already strip the paneling Oh This is blue. Oh, it is blue. Oh, okay Yeah, this looks like a fucking octopus. Yeah, and I'll frame in this out with two bucks for I can recess the new panel Okay, so if all them panels gone, it's just gonna be the one. Oh my god So and the sheds on the same panel, right? Yes. Okay. Everything else All right, well, this is good then that's a try. Yeah, that's what we did I we tried pulling no one around the light right there. Yeah, and it It's just wants it's gonna come off a little bit. He fucking pieces around the light. Yeah, I hope not It don't matter This is what I gotta try this. It's got that same texture on it. I got sprayed. Yeah This room looks fantastic. Yeah, it smells better, too But you can see the dark spots in the mud still that's two or three days old Yeah, there's no reason you in the shit that's not the drywall month So I don't know what was sprayed on the wall I mean No, it's fine See, I'll spray that that go to dry the other coat right a big squeegee and I spray right right it'll be like brand new all It's it's happening in places. It's not even happening in places. That was staying So it's almost like I have an oil residue on it See, that's what I was I know You're With So overall it's super happy with the progress. Oh, yeah Oh Wow Look at this different place, huh? It is Do you remember what this was before? Not this holy smokes Roaches were coming out of every orifice of the top It looks fantastic Wow All our heaters inside the cabinet Easy access. Oh is it? Okay You got three doors on each side two cabinets. Very nice. This looks great, man That's a good size shower. Oh, yeah, that's nice I think we made the right choice in here by 86 in that tub Tile all over the ceiling there with the white subway tile in there And then 42 inches right here all the way around right in here And then your white tile with the the black black moment. Okay, um because of What I I think because we're doing tile everywhere I'm not going to spend the extra $700 for the five inches of granite backsplash I want to run the granite to the wall. Yeah, that works for me. So that's how much it is Yeah, seven hard just for the backsplash. That's great. Let's cut that so I figure the island don't have a backsplash right Yeah, the you don't want a backsplash on the desk So what I was going to do is do 18 inches of tile on the desk wall. There you go. And then just continue it all over Okay That looks great It's cracking. It's just from the time of age Yeah, this whole roof got to be skinned. So it's already really got to be skinned. Yeah That's all of today's plan. Did they not start yesterday in the room? Oh, they did. No, they started today. Oh, they started today. She got good weather, man. Yeah, because A lot better than it was then. So this room with all the fans who have done it Sixth grade fan, let's see. It's all on Yeah Wow, I like the color Yeah, as you know, it's the same color of putting all of them Take up too much space fans in here already. Yep. The ceiling is down in here The wall they have to do some work on the walls Looks good This fan is faster You want to put the heat in here? No, it'll crack it. Oh, a little bit? Okay No, it really is. It's not thick. Yeah, it's a mud bed Fuck Wow And I gotta fill all that back up and fill it back in. Yeah But once I get the tub in here, this room is ready for Texture and do a little sanding and texture and I can start putting it in tile Is that what goes in next? You have to wait for that to dry and then the tub gets set in And then I gotta pour this two into the concrete. See how low it is. Oh, yeah And then I'll just I'm gonna use I might stand in this color or close to it before I paint the white over I'm just gonna whitewash it. Yeah, I'm gonna paint it white and then take a towel and just kind of wipe it off and make it look aged Okay, so a little bit of stress to look there. Yeah Okay, and then I'm gonna do the same I'm gonna do the same thing in this little hallway. I'm gonna put matching crown Okay, we're the head and we're gonna let go. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah Okay I can't think of anything else Yeah, it looks great then. You think you'll be done before Thanksgiving? Okay, there's nothing Time to get a tenant in here. Maybe December 1st. Yeah, because I got nothing. There's nothing left So the materials between like the flooring Material and flooring went up 45 cents. It's the goddamn trade thing and I had no warning, you know, I bid it for a dollar 50. He's like, oh, yeah, it's $1.89 now. Like what did you already buy it? Fuck so that's Maybe waiting in it might go back down or well, no, I'm when he's searching for a Checking all his vendors to find a drop piece. Yeah. So we need quite a bit of it though. 1500 feet. Yeah, fuck So, um Working that out working that out. Um Yeah, this this tariff shift is really increasing our prices Just you ain't lying there. Well, I mean drywall. I was getting drywall for $7 a sheet when I bid this but not 11 Hey guys, I wanted to give you an update on the pet cemetery house. So we've had some setbacks um setbacks are usually expected when you're dealing with a um a rehab of this magnitude, but I'm a bit angry because um It was the contractor's fault. So what happened was the roofer Put on a new roof And pulled a permit for it. However he either neglected or Forgot or whatever to pull another permit for the detached shed area That was where all the christmas stuff was we were going to turn that into like an efficiency so um He got busted by the uh county And he got fined. Well when the county Came in to inspect the house They realized that the electrician also did not pull a permit when I had paid him to pull a permit So uh to say i'm furious is putting it mildly. Um, I paid these people Licensed contractors to do the right thing and they did not do it. So um I am not happy right now. So this all occurred in the beginning of november Today is january 5th And I still do not have any progress on my project because they put a stop order on the work So the rest of the trades are unable to finish Because of the neglect of those two. So um, they were fined. They were punished, but uh, Ultimately, I'm the one that gets punished the most because I have the holding cost involved In this house. So, uh, I'm going to give you a sneak peek of where we're at where we left off We've we've lost two months of productivity and we only have two weeks left For the interior rehab to be completed and Um The garage is going to take another couple weeks, but that is inconsequential to get somebody in here So I have come today for the first time since this happened in the beginning of um, november And uh, honestly to just take care of the yard and the shrubs and as you can imagine it was overgrown So i'm going to give you a little sneak peek of what's going on here and let me see if I can Turn the camera So you can see The permit Is here. Uh, that means no work can be done. So let me show you what we've got So this is the living room Um, it is not yet completely painted It's roughed out for the electric and of course I've got the appliances sitting there staged Um, but this is the beautiful kitchen Um, I don't know if you can remember In season No, this season. I think it was episode Part one of pet cemetery You can see kyle banging the counter the counter the cabinets to get it out and um Then glenn comes behind him with one pull and pulls the whole thing. Well, that was over there That's that area there. So what we did is we added uh, can lights as you can see All around two pendants. So this is going to be an island right here The refrigerator will go here granite countertops all around and then I added Um these pantry with pullouts and a little desk here. This will all be granite So you've got two pantries one on either side. So this is going to be Um, a really really beautiful kitchen. Um, I'm envious of it If you can remember from Part one, this is all they had for cabinets. So it was seriously lacking for storage Um, and what I did is I turned this room into the dining room added french doors And uh, we're in the process of mowing back there. You can see how high and we cut trees and The snake just jumped out on me and I kind of freaked out Even though it was a racer snake. It wasn't poisonous, but they freaked me out Okay, so this is the master bedroom It's been painted already. But what is lacking is the white wash on the ceiling And the air conditioning that's going in And this is the walk-in closet that is still not complete yet so We got a bit of work to do there I can't show you the master bathroom because the electricity is off and it's super super dark in there But I will show you the bedrooms I'm just so impressed with this kitchen. Okay, so I think you guys can remember this room because this is where Pablo and Pedro were supervising And um, Kyle I don't think he made it that day. So Pablo and Pedro were supervising this room now. It is basically Staging for the tile the toilet for the other bathroom um And this is the new tub for the second bathroom and of course the paint and then The lighting the door handles We had to replace every door in this place. So this room's been painted. Um, this bathroom is still a freaking disaster. So Uh You know, this is not good And then This room Has been painted the ceiling fan has been installed And we just need some flooring in here and the air conditioner and say hi to ryan Ryan is mowing What a nice guy take time out of his weekend to help me Uh, get ahead of this project, uh, considering that we are super super far behind So I want to show you The flooring is not here. So I can't show you that yet. It hasn't been delivered But We're going to be redoing some landscaping here As you can see It needs quite a bit. Um, this hole is where the old Air conditioning unit was they call it a window unit. However, they put it right in the block So we're going to reblock that fix that and, uh, put some shutters And paint and the roof actually looks very nice Considering he screwed me There you go There you go. And then Um, I thought a great touch on this house would be In closing this garage and making it a two car garage. So let me show you that It's already Good to go So that is my update here on Um, January 4th. Uh, so again, I've lost two months of, uh, productivity. This house should have already been Well, let me put it this way. We were planning on being done before Thanksgiving so, um This is not good, not good at all, uh, to have these kind of setbacks It's one thing if I screwed up and, uh, maybe I didn't line up my contractors in time Or I didn't I didn't do something properly But when you hire licensed professionals, you expect them to do the right thing, especially when you're paying for it Um, everybody is asking me why I didn't just knock this house down and build it again, um Two reasons, uh, this house was built God, I think it was in the 40s or 50s It's solid work with plaster walls This is a super super solid house and, uh, it wouldn't have benefited me to do that And also this neighborhood is fantastic. I'm going to show you what is at the end of the street As you can see that is a giant lake So, uh, that is called Lake Lulu and, um, it's a very popular lake here in Winterhaven And, um, to have that at the end of the street This should be a fantastic, uh, rental for me if I if I continue to do that if it's going to go much longer I might have to sell this but I'd really like to keep it because I really love the house. Um, I think it's going to look amazing and, uh I know that I was Debbie Downer at the beginning because it was a very rough cleanup And, uh, it took a lot out of me emotionally But, uh, I think it's going to come around I am positive about it. Uh, and I am told that We are going to be able to get started hopefully in the next week or two To resume the rehab and it should only take us two weeks We're going to put like nine guys on it to get this done So stay tuned for the final reveal Thanks for hanging with me and, uh, as always let us know your thoughts on the rehab when it's done Thanks for watching season two.
