A new adventure for us...




We woke up at 7am this morning. I hopped in the shower before Maggie arrived with Payton. Beth then took a shower and Dawn arrived around 8:15am. I made pancakes for breakfast and we headed out the door. We went to look at a house on the market. We have always talked about flipping a house and want to see if we can do it and like it. So we found a house in pretty good condition. It needs a lot of drywall, paint, and new carpets. The kitchen needs a complete reworking along with the bathroom. We think it is a good deal for us for our first try. We have talked a lot to Dawn about it and have done some research and are ready to put in a bid on it. If we can get it for the right price and keep our remodeling costs down, we can turn a good profit. Well we think we can. So we are going to venture in to flipping at least one house and see where it goes from there. Payton was getting cold as the house has no heat right now, so we came home. Payton fell asleep on the couch as you can see in today's picture. He slept around a hour and 45 minutes and Maggie came by to pick him up. We had to go to the bank and then stopped at Lowe's to check the price on a few things. I have a feeling that Lowe's and IKEA will become our new best friends. We are hoping that the snow, rain, and ice are not as bad as they say it will be and hope to go back to the house again tomorrow.
