We’re finally pulling into the home stretch on The Second Chance House. We’re several weeks behind schedule (which I’m not happy about), but we’re on-budget and the quality of workmanship has been top-notch.

House #4: Rehab. Offer?

The Yellow Stain House has been on the market for three days now. The foundation has been repaired, as has been the main water line from the meter to the house (there was a rupture that would have cost as much to fix as to replace the whole thing). As the house is still in […]
