I also finished cleaning the stove top.
Before:

After:

You can see the paint starting to come off on the sides. I guess they don't use the same paint on the sides as they do on the top. Oh well, at least that will be covered by the cabinets. I had to use a razor blade for the last bits of black that wouldn't come off with oven cleaner. I have no idea how they managed to leave so much burnt on crud behind. Is it really that hard to clean up a spill after you cook?
After that I vacuumed the floors and sprayed bug killer around the kitchen. I keep seeing little roaches in the kitchen. I hate roaches. That is one thing that I don't have out at my place. Sure I have scorpions, spiders, pack rats, mice and centipedes, but I don't have roaches! I think it is because I am not connected to the city sewer out here. I have seen the roaches come up the drains at the house. Icky! As a landlord it is my responsibility to kill all bugs. The renter cannot find a live bug in the first 30 days or else I have to pay to have the house treated. I am determined to kill them all. I put spray foam in the holes under the sink and I bought the 10 month spray from Home Depot along with traps.
I also tried the garbage disposal and it didn't work. I hit the reset button but it just hummed and tripped the button again. Then I got a broom handle and moved the disposal to see if it would even go around. It moved after much work and then the gross part, I had to put my hand in it to see what was blocking it. Luckily it was just some rocks. Looks like someone dumped a potted plant or something. I cleared out the rocks, disinfected my hand and turned it on and it worked. Then I ran the dishwasher with some Lysol to make it smell better. So many little things that need attention. It seems like the house will never be ready.
