This photo is one of the rooms.
One day friends offered to help me clean.
So we started to move furniture and wiped the floor, walls and ceilings.

Above photo is one of the “before” pictures, however, the previous owner cleaned up a little bit and after that I threw away some furniture and tidied up other items. So before it was messier but now it is in better condition.

All the walls, floors and ceilings were so dirty we wiped them but doing this only a few times was not good enough. Several times we had to wash dirty cloths and wipe the wall again and again.
I had expected we would not be able to clean this room in a single day.
My plan is one room for at least a 2 week period.
Thanks to my friends’ help, carrying furniture was much easier and wiping walls etc was also much faster than if I had done it alone 🙂

I got help today as usual and this room is getting clean. It’s has NOT fisnished yet at all,though.
It takes time to run the guesthouse and shared house 😀 everything is step by step. pic.twitter.com/4l2qWnkq1u
Looks much better, right?
But of course it is not finished yet. I had to wipe all walls and floors again. And then we noticed something strange had happened to the floor. When we stepped on it, it sank…
When the renovation started, I kept finding other parts of the property that also required refurbishment…
It’s tough to prioritize which to do first.
Anyway, it takes time!
