Well it has been 3 weeks today since we listed Paul’s Condo and it is officially sold as of last night!

We are beyond excited here – I mean we ran around like chickens with no heads to get it all done and ready to list and then we had to wait.  I don’t know what was worse, the running around or the waiting!

There was a A LOT of interest in the property – I believe there were about 11 showings in 14 days.  Paul received his first offer (more…)

Paul’s condo and is done and on the market!

Where do I even start here?  This project is a perfect addition to our portfolio because it was small enough that we could still maintain our normal work schedules, but big enough that we gained some essential experience in making budget conscious decisions as well as working on a deadline.  There is a little added pressure managing a flip when it’s someone else’s investment (more…)

So I am reading through our posts and realizing that I have not been very diligent about posting pics during the whole renovation process… oops!  Truth be told, I actually had a nice long blog written with pictures and all but I ran into a few technical glitches and for the sake of my computer and the living room window, I had to walk away ;)

Onward and forward… (more…)

Is September really almost over?  I know it has been FULL of fun and entertaining things, but as I sit and here and type I’m having trouble recalling it all! I know one thing that I didn’t do… blog! (blush) It might be time to invest in a wireless stick thingy ;)

I have a lot of catching up to do here.  First of all, Paul’s Condo is DONE and on the market!  YAY!!!!!!  You can find it on MLS and/or wait another hour or 2 and everything will be posted here.  I will fill you in on all of the nitty gritty there on another post.

In the meantime I have been working away at my 2 jobs, trying my hand at golf, attending weddings (more…)

It’s been a while since I posted.  Life has been crazy.  You forget how much your partner contributes when they can no longer do it and you have to do everything yourself.  It’s been 5 weeks since Rick’s accident/surgery.  He’s doing great and healing well.

Although I’m exhausted, I took on the large task of reorganizing the closets.  (more…)

Do you ever feel like this?  I’m kind of feeling like this right now.

Life is busy.  Life is full of choices.  I have been going through this process of trying to make a living from what I am passionate about, and I am very confident that I am heading in that direction… but WHY can’t it all happen NOW!  Those who know me know that I am not a patient person &  I never have been. I want what I want and I want it yesterday!  Not in a spoiled brat kind of way, more in a “this is amazing and I cannot wait another second for it to happen!”  kind of way.  Unfortunately this has resulted in a few bad choices along the way… but I’m learning ;-)

Here is my frustration.  (more…)

Well, our family is going through a bit of turmoil right now.  We went up to a cottage in Haliburton last weekend and while trying to wakeboard, Rick broke his femur (thigh bone).  So much has happened in the past week that I can’t believe how quickly time has gone by.

Needless to say, I haven’t been able to spend much time at the Condo or helping with the laundry room (which I’ve been dying to get my hands on…)  (more…)

Here is what you have all been waiting for!  The AFTER PICS of Conor’s Office!

I admit it was a tad stressful doing a project for my boyfriend.  He is a little more on the frugal side which is usually a good thing lol but when it comes to things he does not feel are practical – forget it!  So when he offered $500 for his budget and then listed the things he wanted for the office (including 5 new pieces of furniture!) we had to have a bit of a conversation.  I really pushed his limit when (more…)

Wow!  What a weekend it was!  First of all, here in Canada it was the Civic Holiday.  Now, working in the fitness industry means that everyone else in the world is off for the day so, they would still like to work out.  This means that as a trainer, your clients are more than willing to maintain their schedules.  I worked for part of the day then we got to work on our latest project.  Thankfully (more…)

I spent some time in the Laundry room on Sunday.

Before we can get into the fun stuff, there was still some mudding and taping to do so I finished all of that (with a little help from Conor and a refresher course from Dad).  Next I’ll have to go back and sand the first coat and then add a second.

Here’s the fun stuff!  Vanessa & I went to Eden Tile It last week to pick up some samples.  Mom wants glass mosaic (more…)
