Do You Need a Permit for that Renovation Project?

I’m not sure what to call the 70′s house anymore! With the new flooring down, most of the walls painted and the light fixtures replaced it’s left 1970 and entered 2010. Then again when a President’s term is over in office they still call him Mr. President so perhaps we’re ok to keep calling it the 70′s house? :)

Can someone tell me how it is possibly October tomorrow? I am serious. I just can’t understand how September slipped away from me with barely a blip. After our recent alien sighting (see below) I am wondering if they had something to do with the disappearance of September.

This is one crazy week. We’ve been going all out since we closed on the 70′s house on the 15th of September.

My cousin and his girlfriend that just moved into a new house were happy to take the retro couch and chair but otherwise there was nothing left worth keeping.

Are you doing regular tours of your rental properties? And by regular I mean at least once a year if you have a property manager in place and once every 2 or 3 months if you don’t have a property manager?

Rental Property Renovation Before and After Pictures – What do you think??

All right … this is just going to be a picture show today. I just wanted to show you what about $6,000 and 4 days of labour got us in our latest home purchase.  We had a total of 16 different people working away to make this magic happen …  when it’s totally finished the final bill will probably be about $8,000 and 5 days of labour because the deck is not quite finished.  I think you’ll agree it was money and time well spent!
