[@daryanahibina515]

@@kenn1936 Awhile ago, I knew a man who had a super-weird house, too, not finished and hardly livable, as his "ongoing project" .... As a project in "progress" for 25 years or more. Eventually, his old mother plucked up the courage for the hip-replacement, and she was her 80s already. Her operation was a success, and she could walk again soon. The first thing she did was to visit her son, of course. But when she came, he would not be opening the front door for her!!!! The old lady was standing outdoors in the chill, dumbfounded. I was puzzled, too, because I was there as a cleaner, coming and going twice a week. I asked "Why don't you let her in?!" Yet he was reluctant to explain. Some time later, the mother tried to pay the visit to her son again. It was a weekend, and the man knew that his mother would be coming, and he asked me to clean the house again. To clean is one thing; but how to disguise its semi-broken semi-empty deteriorated uglysome condition? Anyway, the mother came, she could walk very well, and she went upstairs looking sad and quiet. And she then said in disbelief, "Oh, he has not quite finished it yet..." Bah, in 30 years, as a single man, with a good-paying full-time job! Unbelievable!! I wish his aging mother had not seen that ugliness and had not been upset by what she saw. By the way, his mother had a small restaurant in the 1970s, and then she sold her business and decided to buy her son a separate house in a very good location, and the son moved in, and ... and... Heaven knows what he has been doing with his life once he moved there. He was already in his 50s, and still planning and planning to someday finish the house... So stupid and sad.

[@solidstate9451]

I'm usually a person who looks behind coulour and furniture. But if a person let a house get so filthy it usually means, this person doesn't care for repairing broken stuff before it becomes expensive. There might be infestations and leaking pipes in this house. I wouldn't risk to buy this house.

Do it!! Too many people wait until they're selling to make the improvements for the future buyers, but of course you can't really know what those future owners will want. For example, I would not have wanted the trim to be painted over! But anyway, a few years ago I decided to do the projects now rather than later, to improve the home for my own enjoyment rather than just the next person, and I have no regrets about this decision. I love my home even more now!

[@happydays1336]

We just sold our custom, beautiful home that was spotless. We wanted to cut our mortgage way down so we bought an 11 year old home a couple of months ago. It was grubby. The bathrooms were gross. I about gagged when I cleaned out the garbage disposal. It took me 6 hours just to scrub the entryway and front hall. The bathrooms are now clean and look like new. I don't know how anyone could have lived in such a dirty house. What's sad is that the owner had probably "cleaned" it before putting it on the market. She did have it staged nicely, though, which covered up a multitude of sins. It's been satisfying to make the house shine. We took out the filthy carpet that was even in the master bathroom--gross!--and put new flooring in and will be painting the interior. We had the worn cabinets professionally painted white and they look like new. Not everyone can stomach doing what I've done, but if you can, you can buy a diamond in the rough.

In my hometown $429,000 would buy a MacMansion with close to 2700 square feet, attached garage and possibly a pool. It must be difficult for young families to afford their first house. The homeowner knew a television company would be coming to film. She, therefore, should have done some basic cleaning. Before she boxed the items and placed them on the truck, she should have washed all the items to avoid taking anything unhygienic to her knew home. By decluttering, there would be much less to transport. Hopefully, her new home is better maintained.

@@writeract2 yeah it's crazy ..I can't believe she actually had mouse droppings on the dining table ..knowing that cameras are coming ? Maybe it's staged, but who would sign up for this level of embarrassment? Even her fiance's friend was like no this place was trashier lol

There are mouse droppings on the dinning room table!!!!!!! Ugh. I think that woman is disgusting.

[@margaretdevries8090]

I’d be taking pens , paints , markers , pencils out of girls rooms and only let them have them under supervision !!

Beautiful transformation and a warm and loving mother. Wish her and her daughters happiness in their new endeavours.

[@lorirogers9304]

She’s warm and loving because she lets them draw on the walls?

Sometimes a person gets so busy they don’t see things that are glaringly obvious to others! Give her a break-she did realize once she cleaned and decluttered that it was much better! I do agree that she should redirect her children’s creativity to paper and not walls!

[@CowboyBike06]

There is no excuse. This house was a health hazard.

How can anyone ignore mouse droppings?

[@idakate7]

There are some things there is no excuse for. Allowing the mice to take over the house is one of them. What else has gone unnoticed and unrepaired?

[@lorirogers9304]

A lot people have kids. No excuses for lazy.

[@norainnoflowers1551]

tbh the kids rooms are so easy to fix though!! If they want to draw. Hell if they HAVE to draw on a wall. 1 tester can of chalk paint. bucket of chalk. and a good sized square of their bedroom wall. BAM built-in drawing board

[@shaustin22]

These people are so messy. It’s really gross.

[@kebert2thumbsup]

Her house has good bones, but what a disaster area! I'm very creative, but drawing on walls is a NO NO!!!

[@janetpattison8474]

I’m going to pass on watching this video, due to the rodent infestation, talk about a dangerous way to live. OMG! Encephalitis which causes major brain damage can be caused by mice droppings. (I had a friend who got the disease, and her neurologist told her that the encephalitis was likely caused by mouse droppings or their turtle. And her house was clean! In this case the encephalitis did major brain damage and nearly killed my friend.)

She's taking all her junk to the fiance's house!😃

Another Level of Clean??? CLEAN has Levels????

[@solidstate9451]

If she really lives with her fiance yet - why is there still junk in the house? It should be totally empty by now!

[@lucymorgan8859]

HATED that they painted the natural woodwork...that is the fastest way to turn me off on a house! Also didn't like how big they made the "faux panels" in the dining room...made them look like jolly green giant panels...😞🤔😞

[@nygrl6102]

Still amazed that a first time buyer is going to pay half a million dollars! What kind of jobs do they have!?

[@nevillelongbottom1628]

It's in Toronto, Canada, which is known for high real estates prices. Many young professionals in Toronto work in banking and computer-related industries so it's a reasonably high paying job market. That said, almost everyone agrees that GTA real estate prices are unrealistically high.

[@idakate7]

I always wondered that also. I wish they would tell what jobs they have to afford these homes.

[@Jessica-kk1cz]

Yikes. Does this man involved with her now realize what he’s getting into? This kind of thing isn’t something that will change. Nothing has to be perfect - but the mouse droppings and rotting windows - after they cleaned it yet - are just irresponsible. Yeeesh...

[@valerieann2751]

I bet he will really love her kids being “ creative” all over his walls too ! 😂😂

[@judylloyd7901]

The window was new, she just hadn't finished it properly after installing it.

[@idakate7]

He is infatuated with her beauty and carefree attitude. It will bite him in the patootie!

[@CC-si3cr]

Oh okay. I see why the house hasn't sold. The mom is nasty! If she can't see mouse droppings on her dinning room table that's a problem. Plus she has no clue what it means to be organized. I would recommend getting Zoe some help bc she is clearly dyslexic.

[@judylloyd7901]

She's just a little girl still learning to read and write. You don't know how long ago she wrote that.

[@CC-si3cr]

@@judylloyd7901 What I do know is dyslexic children write their letters backwards. You act like being dyslexic is a bad thing. It's not. She CAN get help with her learning disability. Not sure she will with a delusional mother that thinks writing on the walls is a form of creativity.

[@gladygalvan8069]

The fake wheat grass is in every episode 🤣

[@CowboyBike06]

The title of this is misleading, there is a difference between messy and disgusting! Also, there are many many single mothers who manage to parent, work, go to school and CLEAN! That comment about her being dirty because she is a “single mother” was just insulting.

[@caroldorsett8170]

One look tells you why it hasn’t sold. Dirt clutter will ever sell a home.

[@EllieChristine744]

I can`t imagine how she could stand the mice running in and out of her house, and even on the dining room table, iiik! Does she not know that mice have no bladder, they pee ALL the time - on everything they walk on, and they spread an awful lot of germs that can give you all kinds of diseases.... and with the kids running around in the mouse pee... awful!

[@Lauren-vd4qe]

A mouse infestation due to the careless housekeeping; kids writing on the walls, the mom stating her kids are "very independant" is code for "I dont discipline my kids"; oh my, what is that man THINKING of marrying HER!! Run, dude, RUN!!!

[@jimjimmyjames59]

Andrea is clueless. I wonder if she continued this dirty lifestyle to her new home. I bet her boyfriend/fiancee keeps a much cleaner home, which cold be a problem in their relationship. Anyone notice that huge crack in the wall under the window when they were chatting about the new fire place?
