Nah. No insulation. The little bit of mold we found was easily killed. I just need to be careful of electric lines in the walls. But yeah, I will wear a mask.

Then I get to paint a bunch and tear up old carpet, revealing the nice hardwood floors. I need to move a piano. That will suck the most, I think.

I'll keep that in mind. The yucky stuff is mostly over. Just physical labor. Hard to get my mother to do that stuff.

Cool. It'll be a while (days, weeks, I dunno) before we do that. We need to sell it quick though. I just contacted that business that advertises buying ugly homes. Won't make as much on it, but I will get rid of it and won't have to pay for repairs. Hopefully they'll offer me at least what I was willing to sell it to Harness for (speak up soon brother).

Stupid house...

Yeah, I'm sorry that I haven't gotten around to you about that, but I am not gonna do it. Too much work for me right now.

I suppose, however from what I understand you need to stay in a home for at lest 5years to get your moneys worth (I could be wrong). That should be enough time for him to get something done.
