House #3 - Coming Along

Our third house is coming right along. At this point the painting has started and is just about done. The tile is currently going in. As you can see we took at the wall inbetween the family room at the dinning room. You probably can't tell from the pictures but the layout of this house is the exact same as the house on Burlinghall.


Paint as been completed.....well except for the baseboards. So the lights are starting to be installed.


This was a big delima.......what to do about the fireplace. When I first bought the house I was orignally planning on taking it out but then after removing the sheetrock and taking a better look at it, figured it can stay......Might have just been the cheap side of me coming into play but after it is covered in Travertine it should look pretty good.



It took a little long to finish the kitchen than I had planned.....probably because everytime I was off I kept getting called into work. I desided to move around the appliances in order to give it an open feel to the family room. The range used to be on the right and now will be in the cutout of the cabinets and the fridge will be on the right.

There used to be a makeup nook but that has been taken out to make room for a larger shower....

That is currently being held up because of the city's inability to issue a permit to the correct address. Government is great!!!

Below you can see that the tile has started going in. Now we tried to find a nice tile to make this place stand out......so of course we had to go with Travertine. Probably too nice of a floor for the area but oh well.

Here We Go Again - House #3

It is that time again...here are the pictures from House #3. We are hoping to have this one done quick since it is just a flip. As of right now we have no plans to move in to this house.

The utility room has large cabinets for storage.



The guest bathroom is going to be updated with granite countertops and new floors. We also refinish the tub.



The master bathroom is also going to be updated with granite countertops and new floors. We will also redo the shower and make it larger by removing the little makeup desk you can see in the master bedroom.







The hallway looks like a jumble of doors right now.



The entry way will change dramatically because we are taking out walls and the entry way closet (don't worry...there's a closet just inside the hallway).



The kitchen will be updated with granite countertops, new cabinet doors, and new floors. We will be adding a pantry.





The breakfast area.



The family will get a makeover with walls removed, new floors, and recessed lighting. We also have plans to run wires for the new buyer in case they want to put a TV above the fireplace.





The dining room and parlor will get new floors. The wall between the dining room and family room will be removed to open the house.







The guest bedrooms are typical for the area. They will get new carpet.







The outside will get a little sprucing. We will add some color to the flower beds.

Justin Gets Attacked!!

Justin and I visited one of our friends that trains dogs on the side. They coaxed Justin into helping with the training. He put on the equipment, hid behind the blinds and got attacked! Here are some of the pictures.





"Let me at him"...








Waiting patiently to be released to attack...

We Have Grass!!!

We finished the landscaping a couple of weeks ago. It definitely makes the house look TONS better!! Now we just have to water to keep it all alive.
