The sheetrock lift is a life saver to say the least. Last night we got the first sheets on the ceiling in no time and perfect. It was totally worth the money to invest in oh and my husband thinks that we are bringing it back on friday night. I guess we might have it done by then, we are taking off on friday, so its going to be a long day to say the least.
I need to call to schedule an appt to get the heating system serviced and started up. Cross your fingers..... it works.
I love when you get to the point of drywall and the project that has taken so long actually starts to look good.
I will post a picture next time... maybe of the house with all the sheetrock up.maybe.........

Sheet Rock
We are having the sheetrock delivered tommorow... its exciting, we also have some family who are going to come over and help us bring it all in each of the rooms.
We had a big weekend of parties, on friday night we went to the fair, on sat we had Bell's first birthday we didn't get home until 12:30 pm LONG DAY
Sunday we had a retirement party for blazes aunt shirley. I am all partied out.
We are thinking about taking off friday since we have Monday allready off, hopefully if thats the case we will get all the sheetrock at least up.
Tuesday- upstairs bath
Wed- bedroom
Thurday - bedroom
friday- hallway
Sat- bedroom, kitchen, bath
Sun- living
monday- odds and ends finish sheetrock if not all up, maybe start spackle if ready.
SO that is the schedule for the week. I hope that we can stick to it. After monday we have 21 days left we should be able to get it all done
Tonight we have to measure the kitchen and I need to do the final picking out of the cabinets, sink, countertops. Kitchen takes two weeks when ordered. But we will need that time to tile all the bathrooms and tile the kitchen. Put the new floor down in the back bedroom and paint the whole house. That reminds me I need to call the heating man, we still don't know if that works....
Lots left... I also have two pallets go catalogs coming next week, have a deal going with a house that is a nightmare, I can't wait until the sold sign is on this house. Hopefully sooner than later....I think that I am going crazy, you know that when you have a milllion things to write on the to do list for the day

Plumbing
Sounds like I am always talking about the dam plumbing but... big news its done...... yes its done and we didn't have to call a plumber.... I have to give all the credit to my husband who is awesome...Lets hope the same is for the heating system when we turn that on.... oh and also that the sewage line is ok...
On my way over to Home Depot to get a drain for the upstairs shower and get some plants for the outside landscaping. I mowed the lawn tonight and it looks great....
Next on the list getting the drywall delivered and started on that, not a big fan of that job but its better than demo...
On the real estate market sold a big house and have an appt with people tommorow who i have been working with for about a month. I think that this one tommorow is the one. Lets hope I would be two for two this week. I am not celebrating yet......
Its pretty bad when i was driving home today i was thinking about laying out on a beach with a drink not doing a dam thing and then I pulled up to the dump aka flip and my dream was over and I had to start working uhhhh i can't wait until its done.....

Plumbing is going good we should be finished by the end of the week. thank gosh....
Now if everything is good with the sewage line and the heating system we are good to go.
We are thinking that we might take a week of work off to do the drywall and flooring to get a heads up on getting the house done. its the last bit of vacation time that we have left.
We keep going back and forth about it.
Update house up the street was on the market for two weeks at 140k and sold.... maybe that fwould happen for us at 115k.....................and ours is all updated and the other one wasn't...

The past week
The past week has been crazy busy, not with the house flip but with a bunch of other things. last weekend we went to Baltimore and on Sat night we met Sarah and Brian for dinner. It was a good time wish they lived closer.
This weekend we had a lot of family come in for Billy and Elissa's wedding. It ended up turning out very nice and everyone had a good time. Elissa looked beautiful and I survived my speech.
I got to see Kendra and Heidi. We sat at the same table it was nice.Kendra's husband couldn't make it and Heidi's husband was home watching Bell. Blaze was at the head table so it was us girls talking all night. Fun times... We took friday and sat off from the house so we spent it with Bell,Heidi and Andy. It was fun. I can't believe that she is going to be a year next week. Kendra's baby Alexis is getting huge. She is really cute. My sister Melissa watched her while we went to the weddding.
Next weekend.... BIG 1St Birthday for BELL... I have already spent way too much.....
Oh update on the house Blaze almost has the plubming done we should be ready for sheetrock by the end of the week. ALthough next sat we have the BIG 1st birthday party and on sun we have another party. But its getting there....

Plumbing
The plumbing is going good. We had really bad issues when the water was turned on so now we are replacing all of the plumbing pipes. Well I guess now I can write all new plumbing.... I guess its a plus. Not a huge cost just labor intensive. Now I am hoping that once we get the plumbing in and try out the heating system it os all good.
We are going to take a few days off once we are ready for drywall. Tonight we have a rehersal for a wedding tommorow.. busy busy busy. sat & sun finish plumbing and finish painting basement.
Can't wait until dryall is over, I like the finishing work, painting, trim, sanding, kitchen, tile work, bathroom setup. That's about it. Sept 22nd can't come fast enough....

Busy
I haven't posted in a while. We are very busy this week. I can't even put my head around it. I have to train someone new at work for the day tommorow i have to show houses on thursday, We have rehersal for a wedding on thursday night, I have a hair appt friday along with a wedding. I also have to read at the wedding. I also at some point have to find something to wear to the wedding and get the dress for one of the bridesmaids that my mom is fixing. I have to get to the grocery store we have nothing. Amoung more things that I just don't have time to write.
Oh and last week we found out that we need to put ALL new plumbing in the flip house. Great. Blaze is working on that. Its going good so far last night he got far. He is telling me that he will be finished with the plumbing by the end of the weekend. Hopefully once we get the plumbing straight everything is ok with the sewage. If not we are going to have to dig it up. I won't get into that story until it happens or doesn't happpen.
I am painting the basement. Last night i went through a whole can of white paint. Blaze is getting me more tonight. It looks better how good can a basement from the 1920's really look. Its brighter and cleaner.
Our deadline to finish the flip is Monday Sept.22nd

Home Depot
We went to Home Depot this morning and got supplies for both bathrooms. I got a nice black vanity for the downstairs bath, the upstairs bath I got a white vanity and medicine cabinet. Got all of the lights for the house except the kitchen light. I am looking for one online.
We have to go back to Home Depot to get the tile, microwave, and dishwasher. I am going to get all black appliances. The house came with a frig, I am going to paint that black.
We are going away this week so the next three days we are going to work hard. Blaze calculated that we have approx 93 hours of work left to do. Ouch....
I found the next flip..... Blaze is not happy about it. Its a really cute house foreclosure in vandling. Not on the market yet, I don't even know whats its going to go for. we need to get this one sold first.
