Piss bomb

"If you don't try, you have already failed" 

are the words I continue to tell myself.

Of course, it's a known fact, that Randy and I have renovated and flipped many houses through the years*.

It's been a partnership between he and I and there has been success with each property sale.

After recently quitting my job at Hallmark to be more available for my family, I started brain storming things I could do to make money.

PROPERTY

PROPERTY

PROPERTY

was the word in caps that continued to flash in front of my eyes.

It's what I know, I'm comfortable with it, and it fulfills many of my life's passions; hard physical work/shopping/decorating/transforming.

But I questioned if I had the confidence to take on a flip house on my own.

As in Jolie singular versus the usual Jolie & Randy.

When I brought the idea to Randy, he backed me 100% and gave me many supportive words of encouragement. 

Before I could mind-fuck myself to death,

I got a loan.

I found a home.

I placed a fair offer that was accepted.

I had rough figures of what the updating expenses would cost me.

I had a goal of a quality finish within budget.

I dreamed of the day I can be proud of giving life back to a stagnate 1961 rambler.

*I need to find pics from previous flips.

You will be amazed at what a little TLC will do!

Today I got the keys  ;)

It was an energizing, powerful moment for me.

The 3 bedroom 1 bath home needs cosmetic updates.

Underneath the multi-colored carpets, are hard wood floors that I hope will be in good shape to recondition.

I will take a wall out, re-tile bath, take off wallpaper, add fresh paint, and do something dramatic to the kitchen.

Many pics to follow, please bear with me as I need to document the "before's".

Wish me luck!

P.S.  Be glad this isn't smellivision!

The prior owners had a pet issue.

I suppose some people don't see anything wrong with dogs peeing/pooping in the house.

But when your nose holes want to punch you in the weener from the stench of a piss bomb, and your clothes need to be burned when leaving the premises, 

THERE IS AN ISSUE!

Yes, I am taking this on willingly,

and yes again.....I'm totally cra.
