Rehab week in review

Wrapping things up at house.
This week:
- Installed granite counter tops and grouted them
- reattached all baseboard moldings that weren't broken
- touch up paint upstairs
- cleaned up both bedrooms
- installed bathroom fan grille
- installed shower rod and curtain
- put up some curtains

I have the sink ready to install, however the sink came with these tiny little clips. I need longer/adjustable clips due to the depth of the underlayment. Grrrrr...
My last flip I used an Elkay sink, and it had long adjustable clips. I didn't realize that the sink I bought for this flip would be different. Hopefully I can get those locally and won't have to order them, but will have the sink at least in place to put the house on the market next week. Always seems like there is something that puts the brakes on when you are cruising!

Rehab week in review

Well, the first official week is done in the new flip house.
What was accomplished:
- Furnace fixed
- water turned on (although not running through the house yet)
- evaluated and made a list of what needs to be done
- driveway shoveled (twice!!), with a big storm expected again this weekend.....
- Worked on basement cleanout
- Picked out granite tile for the counter tops
- Removed wallpaper downstairs
- patched all the walls
- started painting

Painting is going pretty quickly. There is very little trim to paint, since all the trim downstairs is a nice wood. There is a section of the kitchen I am not painting until the work on the pipes happens next week.

I found the most beautiful granite tile. It's called St Cecelia and it has beautiful wine colored accents in it. This will play off the door color really well. I am going to tile with a metal channel, and mosiac backsplash. It's going to look really sharp (I hope!). It will take 10 days or so for the tiles to arrive.


Goals for next week:
- shoveling for sure LOL
- Remove counter tops
- finish painting downstairs
- replace light fixtures
- fix closet doors
- start painting upstairs

Deal still alive!

Well, I thought this deal was on life support, but it looks as though it might go through after all!

Definitely need to sit down with my mortgage broker after this and go over all investor options that are open.
Stated income isn't likely to work anymore.
We are shooting for a closing date of 12/6 or a little earlier.
