Work Week

It has been a long week to say the least. We got lots done. The kitchen is installed, drywall done, house painted, upstairs bathroom is done and all the interior doors are hung. Basement is painted.

We have a list of things left to do but i think that we are still going to make the oct 1st deadline of getting the house complete.

I wanted to take pictures of the house yesterday but forgot my camera.

We are very busy, I sold a house yesterday and have to get all the paperwork done they want to close in 5 days, it really makes my job harder to do that and also next sun i have a sales meeting for a few days in state college. crazy i hope my life slows down a little in the next month or so. I was thinking yesterday how i love sundays in the fall/winter when i can just sit on the couch and listen to football on the tv reading a book and take a nap.I can't wait until we can get back to that.Soon i hope.


Well i am off today back to work i have to get catalogs to a school that is 2 hr away and then be back by 3 to take tonkia to the vet for 4.

Pictures to come at some point this week....

Paint

We are ready for paint tommorow, and I haven't picked out all the colors yet, but will before I got to the store tommorow to get it. I am kind of going back and forth about a few colors.


The oil guy came and we got 75 gallons of oil for the flip today. They also came and started the furnace. It works great. they are going to come back in the next week or so to give it a good cleaning and replace nozzles and things.....


We are getting all of the rest of our supplies delivered on friday. We should be ready by then to install the kitchen.

Got the tile from HD on sat night. Blaze is going to install the tile while i paint tommorow. Its starting to go fast now.We should be def. done by Oct1st. Not worried about that anymore.

The oil man came walked through the house and asked us how much we were going to sell it for he thought we should sell it for more, so did blazes mom when she came over this past weekend.

We had a visit from Heidi and Belle this weekend. Although we were working on the house and didn't get to see them much, we plan to visit once we get this house done. We have a lot on our plate right now. More about that in an upcoming post.


I better get back to the flip,I just came out to let the dogs out and sat down at the computer...

I had to drop off the dogs this morning to get their teeth cleaned, not fun. They will be done by 5 tonight. Big process....

New Look

I thought that I should give the blog a new look. The black was starting to hurt my eyes. The new look is cleaner and happier....I like it...

oooooooooo

We are almost drywalled out. I don't want to see another piece of drywall for a while. We have a little bit left going down to the basement and its all hung. Blaze did a great job with it and now its on to the messy part on thursday night. We have all of next week off to work on the house. We hope to get all the drywall done and painted, and the tile finished in the kitchen and two bathrooms. ALso get both bathrooms totally finished with hooking up vanity's and toliets. Also get the doors hung. Its alot to get done but hopefully we can do it. We will be working our butts off to get it done. I like this part of the flip things go faster and you actually see progress, in our case we get more done.

I still have to pick out paint colors and I have a Home Depot list that has to get bought.

The gutter guy for the house in plmt still didn't call about a install day. I hate contractors to say the least...

have to get to the real estate office.

LONG LABOR DAY WEEKEND

Long weekend to say the least. Starting with the good news we worked our butts off and managed to get the whole upstairs done and most of the downstairs drywalled.

We have the downstairs bathroom to drywall, staircase, and backroom downstairs. Oh we have the little bit going down to the basement left too.

In other news I had a really bad weekend with real estate, had a client who we had an offer to purchase signed by both parties and then someone else came in at the last moment and well its a long story but they said they are sueing the other party and everyone down the east coast. I have to deal with this this morning and am not happy about it. It just really sucks.

other than that all week we are doing drywall hopefully by the end of the weekend we will be ready for tape and spackle. Sunday we are only working in the morning, first weekend of football. GO STEELERS

I made a list of the stuff we have left I will post that next time also I took pictures this weekend, maybe I will do it later when i get off the phone with the lawyer....
