Geek Squad Alert!

PA, LLC recently got some fun new tech equipment that we are stoked about! We have been hobbling along on a scanner/printer that only sometimes worked and a desktop PC that constantly gave us fits sooooo...we are the proud new owners of 2 laptops and an amazing HP wireless printer/scanner to which you can EMAIL - yes, email documents to be printed!! We hate spending money but realized our office equipment needs to "grow" as our company does - and we can't afford to not have equipment capable of doing things quickly and effortlessly. I've also recently starting doing our accounting online too which has helped save me loads of time...Dave and I wear so many different "hats" within our company so it's been extremely nice not having to spend time fighting with computer equipment. Moving on and up!

 
Speaking of moving on and up, our offer on Snow Road (Flip #14) was accepted! So fun to see our offers getting accepted and our inventory increasing! Check her out :) She's pretty beat up now but we see a diamond in the rough that will make an amazing home for someone...
 
 
This week we are finishing up "punch-out" on Pinebough (Flip #11)...touching up paint, staining porches, installing shutters, cleaning, staging, etc. The punch out on this property should really be called fixing-items-a-contractor-has-already-been-paid-to-do-but-either-did-a-crappy-job-or-left-it-off-altogether. *Sigh* What I would give for a quality job done right. Don't get me wrong, we have a handful of guys that do their job and do it well (shout-out to Daycool and ProStone!). But, we have yet to find a general contractor that can deliver a product that doesn't need a serious overhaul when they leave. We have been trying out a few different methods to see how we can improve in this area. We'll see how our beta tests pan out ;)
