Days 8 & 9

So I missed blogging yesterday because after working late Dave and I had a long conversation about the direction our flipping business is going and the things we need to do to grow and improve it...a pow-wow if you will! He spent most of the day having to run errands so while he was gone, I painted my little heart out. I was able to get a lot more of the house primed and had a few visitors which was fun! Lawrence, our mentor, stopped by to check out our progress and Dave's BFF came to see our latest flip. BOTH men had to to try out the swing set, which was hilarious! Lol, the new red paint must be working...Hopefully it will be just as appealing to our buyers!

Today David knocked out almost all of the chimney rebuild before running out of siding and I was able to start working on glossing all the trim and soffits. It's amazing what fresh paint will do!

GOODBYE UGLY BROWN!

The chimney looks awesome. He did a great job on it! We used a composite siding so the new owner will not have to worry about any more rot.

SAY CHEEEEEEESE!

After dark, we began working inside. I got the rest of the fireplace primed and Dave went to work in the hall bathroom pulling down the wallpaper. He is going to try a new technique on the walls to cover over any remaining wallpaper and camouflage the sheetrock imperfections. Excited to see how it turns out!

Tomorrow we head back to Lowes to pick up our exterior color and more siding to finish the chimney. Mobile is supposed to have gorgeous weather for the next week so we are going to continue focusing primarily on completing the outside in the next few days...
