Shortly, we’ll I’m going to say, three weeks after I bought my last home, we got custody of our 4 year old grandson, so I kind of disappeared from my blog but the work continued and did it continue. I flipped the entire home, listed it by January 2020, had a buyer in two weeks by February, we haggled back and forth and they weren’t able to close until April 1, 2020 due to their mortgage restriction. Next home, I won’t accept my first offer and keep listed for 45 days. Learning on every home but feel I did very well on this one. It appraised at 125,000 which was right about what I had thought a ..read more

What a day I had today……My contractor that I had done the bulk of my work in this house decided that he bit off a little more than he can chew and he wasn’t able to complete the job which is fine with me except I’m stuck with having to find new people. I sat down and maybe cried for about an hour and I jumped up and I said to myself, “when I wake up in the morning and put my feet on the ground the devil says oh darn she’s up.” I made call after call after call until in about two hours I had everything lined up and I’m right back on schedule like I was before . I will have to do a lot more than ..read more

So I got this roofer who is Matt’s friend and his name is Matt also. He’s putting new roof on tomo and adding a ridge vent as the attic area bedrooms are unbearably hot so it will help it a lot. Monday or Tuesday window guy is taking those double doors out and adding that window I got at Star Supply and installing the 7 new windows in basement. I should have some cool pictures. So I’m not going to lie here my roofer isn’t too hard on the eyes….he’s a gym rat so he’s seriuosly pretty strong for a roofer and if there’s ever a day H.C. Decides to violate that no trespass in Ohio and threaten to k ..read more

When I showed up Saturday Matt walked me through an idea which was removing a wall completely which would open up dining room to the hall because the wall is not a supporting wall and to be honest it’s really not a strong wall and shakes so it’s coming out! More stuff for the dump truck! See in the picture where the entrances have the dated curved top well one wall is coming out and the other we are cutting square. Fyi…that brown paneling is all gone!!! And the wall to the left will be shiplapped. Matt said I’m concerned with you getting the kitchen cabinets and kitchen done I said I’ll get t ..read more

So I Tre ..read more

They come out in the morning to graze in the grass down below but this morning they were standing right outside my deck in the sunroom all the way in the back which is like 250 feet away from where they usually are. I took a picture of them with my iPad through the screen but you can barely see them and ..read more

So the condition of the interior and the exterior of the home…. right about now….Is when I look around and I say to myself WTF were you thinking buying this house and then I remember with all pretty things they have to be ugly first in terms of a flip home. I had to get pretty creative today when Lowes brought my truck I mean trucks I had two of them. When I first got there once again Lowellville was messing with the drain pipes again with the truck in front of the driveway and I let him know he’s gonna have to move that truck in about an hour. So both of the trucks arrived three or four guys ..read more

Lowes is so disorganized in the irrational way they run their customer service makes me wonder how they make any money …..

I had to pull my orders up at Lowe’s.com today because I ordered a 5 gallon can of Cabot deck resurfacer and I don’t want them to deliver me a tintable can with no color so I wanted to add my color to it. Two weeks ago, I had to do the exact same thing for my paint except that I had two 5 gallon cans of that. So I called pick up and I told the girl at the desk hey can you mix my Sherwin-Williams paint in such and such in such and such color and make sure it goes on my truck mixed. She says to me oh maam I’m sorry we don’t do that you have to come into the store and tell us what color you want ..read more

OK so I went out primarily because my window guy was supposed to meet me there but of course not everybody can be as responsible as me and he didn’t show up so I stayed and got some things done. I wanted to do some more power spraying because I wanted to get at least two sides of the four car garage power cleaned out because I’m going to be painting my kitchen cabinets in there and I didn’t want any dust so I did that and I power sprayed the garage doors in a little bit of the garage and then of course I went into the dreaded basement. I’m not gonna lie I seriously had to psych myself for abou ..read more

The village solicitor had a very formal looking folder in his arm and I thought…now what! I had ordered the Lowellville Village 2 1/2 ton dump truck because they have this really cool program you get to keep it for 24 hours you can fill it up and they charge $20 to dispose of the trash but things are kind a messed up because apparently the gas company was doing some work on some new lines by my house and they using that little camera under the ground and they discovered that one of the sewer pipes that my water would run into for my house was broken in half and so they have to dig that hole an ..read more
