/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Hey, just bought a house at tax foreclosure. The matriarch died, and the crackhead kids ran it into the ground astoundingly quickly. They piled up trash, performed no maintenance whatsoever and drank hundreds of bottles of liquor which they proudly displayed. I also found a crudely made sketch of plans for a still, which was never built. The house was built in 1949, but the owner cared for it quite well, and aside from one small leak, the outside of the house is in decent shape.
I already filled one 40yrd dumpster with trash from just the garage and two sheds, and I think I will need two more for the house. I am holding my daydreaming at bay until I remove all the crack pipes, dead mice, carpet and trash from the house.
I have found quite a few nice things in the house, a cabinet of Snoopy/Peanuts collectibles, mostly made in Japan, porcelain dolls, gold/platinum edged China, silver dollars, HAWAII silver certificates, a C3 T-top Stingray with a 350, six or seven decent pieces of furniture and lots of other stuff under the trash.
The favorite thing I have found so far is an old Gramophone in fair condition. I want to restore the gramophone and furniture, but was not really sure how to do so, can I simply sand and restain it, perhaps using some woodputty to fix some gouges on the feet?
