This sunroom takes up residency in my nightmares. So many sunroom questions have been asked, and hopefully I have answered! Here are some before and after clearing out and carefully dissembling the entire thing. It was a nice idea with extremely poor execution.
Now the roofers and painters can work their magic! And just in time...

Peeling back, layer by layer... Every room that empties, we find new surprises. Some good, some not so good. The good news - There really is a house under all that stuff! (3)
The clean out crew has been doing such an incredible job - making it possible to finally start the cleaning, repairs, and restoration!

What is this?! No markings, just a handle, little slot, and two keyholes. It is locked tight. Is it a floor safe? A time capsule? A boring utility cover that was super common in the 1940s and we're just ignorant?! Its pretty small, so I'm out of ideas... Anybody know the answer?
I've been holding it together pretty well with this huge project and its looming deadlines, but if there are blackberry bushes or tiny appliances inside this thing, I will cry.

Replying to @Tor324 The creepy shed is open!! Why did so many of our minds (including mine.. immediately) go straight to deep freezer?! Luckily, detectives did not need to be called. It was a work light and... appliances. And mattresses! I think the tally is 6 water heaters now. (2)
Now that most of the appliances have been removed, and there are NO MORE SHEDS 🤞

So much is happening all at once, it's hard to keep up with updates! Trash mountain was cleared, so the landscapers could get down to that second tier where the second shed was completely covered in blackberry bushes!! It is about twice the size of the other greenhouse style shed which can only mean one thing.... Twice the amount of old appliances!!
The padlock and extension cord running all the way from the house to inside the shed... Send thoughts and prayers for when we get our bolt cutters up here...

Where to start? That is one of the biggest questions we have been getting about this massive project. We are under a few different and very impending timelines to move in, so we have had to create a very specific master plan!
Unfortunately, I'm so hyperfoxused on the door grime, that door cleaning videos might be hitting your feed sooner than expected. #cleantok #hoarderhouse #homerestoration #homerenovation #1940shouse #cleaningdoors
Did anyone else read "The Yellow Wallpaper" in school?
Like so many things in this house, the wallpaper is a half finished project. Half removed - showing us the two owners before us, as well as contractor notes all over the plaster from the original builder. In so many ways, this project is like an archaeological dig!
We cannot wait to have it CLEAN for the first time in years!

Get a neglected hoarder home with a hole in the ceiling livable in 6 months? No sweat. Let me walk you through our timeline, and why the awnings were one of the first things to go! (2)

THE SHED IS OPEN! And way more surprises in the blackberry bushes... Unfortunately this one looks to be full of absolutely trash, but I wonder what we have in store in shed no. 2! (Can you believe how much we found in just one little section of blackberries?!)

Wow - so many have joined our journey with this 1942 hoarder home! Thank you so much for your words of encouragement, appreciation for the ridiculous beauty this house holds, and compassion for the original owners.(2)
Hoarding is complicated, people are complicated. We don't judge or make assumptions. Please be kind about the original owners in the comments - we now take it very personally and are trying to fill this home with as much beauty and love as possible - it doesn't need judgement, it needs a lot of help!
