SOLD!!!!!!

I always have enjoyed that John Michael Montgomery song called "Sold"..haha
It came to mind this morning when I was thinking about updating this silly blog finally because Sunny Lane is SOLD! About one year ago exactly we started the process of flipping this house and got it on the market back in the fall. We had a wonderful renter in there for a while and now as of this upcoming Monday, it will be out of our hands!! A first time home buyer is moving in and is getting a great house, that's for sure. :) Everything is brand new!
This morning my mom, sister (Debra), Isaac, and I went over to clean the place up before the final walk through this weekend. Well, mom and I cleaned and Debra fed and watched Isaac! :)
Adam and his dad are putting a few final finishing touches to the place this afternoon and it will be finished! We are very thankful!
Anyone that might read this, I'm really really thinking about starting a new blog about our adorable baby boy!! My guess is it will be much more fun to read than this ever was.
Peace and Love

FOR SALE!!

Well, we can hardly believe it, but the time has come!! The Sunny Lane house is almost complete, and it is beautiful!! Last Friday night, we had a little celebration there to reveal the for sale sign and to thank everyone who has helped out. It was so much fun! Enjoy the pictures and I will keep you updated on the selling process...which hopefully will be FAST!!!! :)



Dud and Brad (coming out of the closet?) haha - just kidding

What a difference a week makes!

Well, to all my faithful blog readers (Heather), sorry it has taken me a while to post new pictures! Adam and I were out of town last week and then this week has been busy so far getting ready for school starting. But you won't have to wait any longer - here are some new pictures of the house that were taken a few days ago.

This is the wall that hours were spent on peeling the 3 layers off of. It is now prepped and ready to be painted!

This is the wall in the living room. If you look back up at an earlier post, you will see some beautiful wallpaper and a hole in the wall. Now the drywall is in and this wall too has been prepped and is ready to be painted

This is Dudley hard at work getting a bedroom ready. I don't have a picture of it yet, but last weekend Phil and Adam worked on putting trim up around all of the bedroom doors, closets, and windows. It looks really nice! The bedrooms will need to painted too!

And finally for today, this is my favorite picture so far because it looks so nice! :) Last week Dudley's brother, Bradley, and one his painters came up from southern IN and worked all week on getting the outside painted. Doesn't it look great?


I hope everyone is having a good week! More pictures will be added this weekend I'm sure. Peace and love!

Flippin Sweet

Here is the beautiful house on Sunny Lane! This was taken a couple of days ago after we got possession. It is a ranch with 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. It also has a basement...although this seems to be the worst part of the house right now due to water damage and just plain grossness. We have gotten a great start so far. Everyone has been helping so far just with the demolition of the property....tearing kitchen cabinets and countertops out, knocking walls down, taking the bathroom apart, getting rid of a certain nasty waterbed that was left. Wow, lots to do, but we feel good about what has been completed already! One of the things I am most excited about is Ruthann's accomplishment of getting rid of the AWFUL smell that filled the house. Lots of candles have been burning...it's much better now! These next pictures were taken the first night without anything being started yet. We'll post pictures later this weekend after a couple solid days of work! :) Enjoy!

This is the kitchen. Now it is completely empty! We are working on taking 3 layers of wallpaper/paint down so the guys can start painting here soon.

This is the dining room area looking out to the backyard.

This is the living room! Notice the lovely wallpaper and orange chair left behind.

One of the bedrooms

This is the garage almost full after only being there a couple of hours working in the kitchen.

And finally, here is Adam in the basement! Yes, that is a Napoleon Dynamite shirt he is wearing. Pretty appropriate since it says "Flippin Sweet"....have a wonderful weekend. I know we will. :)

A Post from Dud

i can not believe it... a dream come true... here we go... and here are the goals...
1. Glorify God in all we do and say
2. Learn from all our mistakes
3. Have Fun
4. Keep the stockbridge pl. home

Excited

Well, I did it!! Thanks to a certain friend/coworker and a summer full of reading blogs, I finally gave in and created one myself!! All along, I just didn't know what I would exactly write about if I did have a blog, but now I have the perfect reason....Adam and I, along with a group of our wonderful friends, are going to be "flipping" a house! I'm sure you have seen the many shows on TLC, Discovery Channel, etc. that show people who purchase properties, fix them up, and then sell them. Well, thanks to Integra Properties - we have our first project!! We get possession on Wednesday. I think the range of emotions go from excited to nervous to anxious and many more I'm sure. We thought it would be neat to keep this blog to show everyone the progress in the next few weeks of our flip....stay tuned!!!

Jenny :)
