    The excitement of being just about a day away from putting a house on the market and seeing how it registers with the public interest.....and the anticipation of seeing if its priced right. I like this part of the process

    Bet it's premium work and people will love it! Let us know? Probably no way of seeing a picture? :(

    Well here is a before and after in one room. Hopefully you can tell which is which. Basically what i did here was simple.....put up crown moulding, installed recessed lighting, ripped up the buckling floating floor and put down real hardwood, opened up an archway to the next room, put black tile around fireplace, new hanging light fixture, and paint. Oh, and took down the little half wall to open it up more.

    Simple? 😭 Over the weekend, I was proud of my ability to not blind myself while drilling five lil holes of correct depth for wood screws into a faulty prefab floor lamp I ordered. That's simple. But these pics show a lot of complicated stuff.

    Do you do all this alone?! Or do you have a team (or folks you call on for specific tasks)?

    I do a lot of it myself, or more accurately i have 1 other guy that i have hired to be part of my little construction company. Hes a good friend of mine so it works out well. Basically we do everything that is allowable by code. If i wasnt selling it i could pretty much do everything, but in NY you need a licensed electrician to pull permits and do electrical work. Sometimes a licensed plumber is needed, as well as HVAC guy.

    But in this room i did all the demo, the tile, the paint, installed the floors and trim. And the hanging light fixture.

    That is honestly amazing!! It would be a fantasy room of mine, and looks like a nice back deck too. I don't know if it ever snows there but I could imagine kicking back with a fire going, dogs beside me, all cozied up on a soft comfy couch sipping cocoa, and watching it snow out the windows. I'd have to get a Rooma though, dog hair. :)

    Seriously that is very very nice!! Thanks so much for sharing. <3

    It never rains here.

    This morning, it's raining.

    I'm not sure exactly what to do.

    Although, I will be calling the police to complain.

    Put on your best suit and go jump in da puddles

    I support this.

    Best suit+rain boots all while singing 'Singing in the rain' at the top of your voice. Then stop to count the gawkers.

    Some things just make me a feel like a little kid all over again.

    I take my dog outside and blow bubbles for him - he hates it! Me? Kid! 🤗

    I blow bubbles for one of my dogs all the time, she loves it and goes crazy. :) In fact, I cannot even say the word in front of her, I have to spell it. The other dog is tennis ball obsessed. Previous dog loved bubbles too.

    Nice crib.

    I could definitely set-up there.

    Taking down the pony-wall was a very good choice.

    My oldest son turns 16 tomorrow. I am hardcore terrified about him driving.

    I remember giving our daughter a driving lesson.

    I said to her:
    "Look out for that guy on his bicycle."

    Evidently, what she heard was:
    "Do your best to hit and knock down that guy on his bicycle."
