Sunroom

The Sun Room is finally done! Carpet went in today and it smells and looks so nice now. It's going to be a great spot to relax and "sun" ourselves in the winter...

Before

After

Found a potential new flip!

We got a call from our realtor yesterday and he found us an amazing deal on a house! We drove by it last night and if all the stars align, I think we are going to buy it. Sheesh, what the heck am I thinking?? We aren't even done with this one yet. What are we? Land barons or something?? But he gave me everything I asked for. No demo, not a log home, no outside repair. Just flooring, paint and cabinets. WE haven't been inside yet, but looking in the windows confirmed that the former owners were pigs. Not oink oink pigs, but people pigs. Just amazes me how some people are willing to live. Ick. So I gotta buy a new pair of gloves and a mask for this one.

Once we tour the inside, I'll post some photos. Woo Hoo!

Bedroom Bliss

Our bedroom is finally done. We got new furniture delivered, and I love it, however,  the dresser has to be sent back because it's damaged. I put it in the bedroom anyway until they send the replacement. Just didn't put the knobs on it, thus the strings hanging down. Still working upstairs, and it's not exactly going well... more on that later..

I've been lax...

It's not that we haven't been working on the house, it's that I haven't taken time to post about it. Oops!
The things that are getting done aren't dramatic or fun to take photos of though, so that's why it's been days since you've heard anything. Well, that and the fact that my beautiful little dog Murphy was killed on the road last week. I didn't really feel much like doing anything for quite a few days. I really still am in mourning for him. He was so much fun and loved to cuddle with me, and I'm really lonesome for him. I can't even type this without crying... He was one of a kind.

So now that I've talked about the hard part, the good part... I'm not working a full time job anymore, so this flipping stuff is going to go into high gear. Since we sold the lake house and are living at the "farm" we need to start looking for a flip property asap. So this is the place to watch and see some of the different possibilities. I don't think we will even tour a house until after mid October, because we are going on vacation to Florida, but after that, we'll get busy looking.

I told the realtor that I wanted something relatively easy this time. No log homes, and preferably nothing with a bunch of reconfiguration or demo. Just some painting, flooring, cabinets and tiling would be nice. But ya don't always get what you ask for...

Anyway, that's an update for now. This weekend we are starting on the upstairs so there will be lots to talk about. Until then!
