    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.

    That's really good work T. I'm sure you'll be getting the offer you're looking for 😄

    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.

    It's truly beautiful! You do amazing work!

    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."

    Yeah my oldest is 17. And I have one that’ll be coming right up behind him, he’s 15. I have very little in this world that I’ve ever been afraid to lose....but my kids are the exception of course. It’s hard to keep that “whatever will be will be” mindset I normally have when you think of all the what-ifs. Still just new to me I guess.
    Good luck to you both! He’s a good kid and decent driver but....yikes.

    yeah, and the first time attempting a lane change on the freeway, almost looked like this:

    You have this uncanny way of terrifying us all the more. 😩

    Yeh but it's all good; send the teens off with a helmet.

    My mother got the vaccine last week,
    she’s felt awful since.
    Says even her toes and fingers hurt.
    No fever but she can barely get out of bed.
    She’s 93, I worry.

    🙏

    Thank you ❤️

    At least it's not confusing. Don't leave your house except for groceries and medical appointments, but you can grab take out or liquor if you feel like it. Support local businesses during this time, but we're closing all of the small businesses. Don't drive across the border, but we'll get you on a flight if you want to vacation in Florida. People who live alone can visit with one other household as long as neither ever leave their house. You'll be fined for gathering to protest the lockdown, but you won't be fined for gathering to protest the policing practices in another country.
    It all just makes complete sense. Our government definitely knows what it's doing.

    You forgot that it's safe to send your kids to school but we'll give them surgical masks because cloth masks are insufficient. But everyone else can wear cloth masks 🤷🏾‍♀️
