November 20, 2012

We are almost finished rehabbing The Rot House… We’ve completed all the major exterior repairs and all the interior remodeling, and we’ve passed all our county inspections. We may want to do some modifications to the front deck and repair a retaining wall on the side of the house, but decided that we would move […]

The Power House is rehabbed — which was basically replacing the hot water heater, putting in a stove, carpet cleaning, house cleaning, getting pest control, interior paint and some minor exterior repairs — and we’re now looking for a renter.

House #37: Staging Pictures

October 19, 2012

We finally finished renovations on The WTF House this week, after the final 5% of the job dragging on for much of the past couple weeks.

House #36: On To Sheetrock

October 16, 2012

I mentioned last week that we were in the midst of rough inspections on The WI-1 House. I’m happy to report that, as of today, we’ve passed all rough inspections (including insulation) and are on to sheetrocking! Sheetrock will likely take about a week, at which point we’ll start trim out, paint, flooring and cabinetry, […]

House #38: Delays & Pictures

October 4, 2012

We closed on The Rot House at the end of last week, and demo started this past Monday. In fact, due to the bad weather, my GC had his entire crew working on demo and the entire house was stripped (all flooring, cabinetry, lighting fixtures, plumbing fixtures, etc, removed) within 3 hours. So, rehab started […]

House #36: Exterior / Framing Pics

September 21, 2012

I spent the beginning of this week up in Milwaukee working on The WI-1 House… We ran into a bunch of logistical issues last week, and I decided it would be more efficient to just spend a few days up there sorting things out rather than trying to get everything done from 1000 miles away. […]

House #35: Rehab Complete

September 10, 2012

We completed the rehab on The Rookie House last Friday (see AFTER REHAB pictures here)… The house has been under contract with a buyer for a few weeks now, so that will save us the time and effort of having to staging, list and market the property — always a nice thing! The buyer actually […]

If you haven’t been following the craziness of The WTF House, read this to catch up… Things are still crazy. As of this morning, the listing agent is telling us that she’s spoken with the bank negotiator and verified that the bank will still accept the wire transfer today (even though it’s past the approval […]
