I just recently inherited my grandmother's house when she passed away. It was built, if I had to guess, somewhere in the 1930's-40's. It's a 3 BR 1 Bath concrete remodeling nightmare. All of the interior walls look to be made of cinder block with expanded metal mesh, covered with cement. there are cracks in a few of the rooms that you can see daylight through, and the ceilings are wood plank painted with what I would guess to be lead based paint.
The kitchen sink hasn't worked in say, 20 years. The bathtub is plastered against the wall and has numerous holes rusted in it. The windows are wood frame with 12 panes of glass in each, all of which are rotting apart.
I don't make much money, and I don't have much extra time for remodeling. This house is pretty much my only option to live in with my wife and 2 kids.
Is there anyone out there who can give me some ideas of an easy way to deal with this Concrete Nightmare?
