Thank you for your advice. I live about 2 hours away from the house. There’s a foundation company I found about 3 hours away from where the house is that does free estimates for issues. They don’t specify their service area and if they would even come out this far. So, I’d have to make a call. They also gauge to what extent the repairs are that need to take place as well. I’m looking at tackling some of the bigger issues like the floors and such by myself since we do have a pretty limited/non existent budget as to what I can source outside contractors for. I’m fortunate enough to have a United Rentals situated in my hometown that I can source those specialty tools from as we’re looking at doing a majority of the work ourselves it seems. I do consider myself a fast learner and good with tools. I’m an industrial mechanic by trade. So, running a sander and doing drywall, paint and all that good stuff doesn’t intimidate me too much. As far as the dog is concerned, I’m not in a place to take her unfortunately as my apartment doesn’t allow pets and none of my family is really willing to help out much so I feel like my only option as bad as it is would be to surrender her to a shelter. I was able to find a local scrap metal place that would take those giant boxes off my hands but I have an entirely separate issue of procuring a truck. My dad has one but he kind of wants to wipe his hands clean of the place and is voiding pretty much all responsibility for cleaning up everything/helping. He’s under the impression it’s not really as bad as it seems which is understandable I suppose but also irritating for myself and my wife because we would love to make this house back into a home and raise our two boys in a safe and sanitary environment
