SIT DOWN FOR THIS: the basement before we started cleaning and clearing

Well, the basement was every bit as bad as the rest of the house, but some pipes had apparently broken at some point. Clothing on the floor was totally soaked and moldy. It is a fairly new basement but there are breeches in the mortar probably because there were no gutters on the house and it caused problems.

There is actually food in the refrigerator, it's been there for a while! oooh! It all seems so gross, but when we set our mind to accomplishing something(and pray for God's grace) we seem to be able to just overlook all the grime.
