#houseflip

I've been quiet here becauae I've been focused on renovating and preparing to move. Lots of big life changes coming! Moving out of one fixer-upper into another is pretty much par for the course now. Someday, I'll love somewhere that isn't in a perpetual state of renovations. Maybe.

And so it begins. The last big project of this house flip is removing the ugly old carpet from the second story. We will go room by room. Why anyone would carpet over beautiful old hardwood is beyond me! #outhereontheprairie #diy #houseflip #hardwoodfloors (at North Dakota) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7MQpAlgxc6/?igshid=1sdytbgtq2mml

Change your mind, change your income, change your life! The way you think is affecting how much money you make. I used to be a public insurance adjuster. When my clients would have roof leaks I would let the insurance company adjuster climb the roof. I remember I used to say you'd NEVER ever catch me on a roof. When I changed my mind about climbing roofs , I changed my income. #YesIclimbRoofsAndiLoveIt What are you saying never to? What is it that you won't do?

He sands the closets because he knows that the combo of mask/goggles/being in a small space/loud noise make me feel claustrophobic. That’s a good guy! 👍🏻 I’m going to bake something nice 💛 #outhereontheprairie #houseflipping #houseflip #houseremodel #sanding #woodfloor #woodfloorsanding #woodfloorrefinishing #claustrophobia (at North Dakota) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9mvTZvnblA/?igshid=1hznihrdgrbeg

This was part of my day today. Sanding the more detailed parts of one of the bedroom floors. We are tearing out all the carpet and redoing the beautiful old hardwood floors in our 100+ year old house. 🏡 It’s a huge job. But not the most daunting we have had. This is the third house I’ve flipped with Husband. Each one presented new challenges. We are slowly moving forward with this one so we can eventually move on. I don’t post about all the house flipping work we do often. I’m not sure why. It’s been a huge part of my varied “career” for so many years. I’ve worked a variety of interesting jobs, but I’ve done this one the longest. Never thought I’d be a house flipper. But I love bringing an old house back to its original glory. There’s something about it that appeals to the history lover in me. There’s a thrill about it. Even more than selling vintage records. Almost as much as picture framing or candy making. (It’s been an interesting life...) So yes, more often than not I’m the lady with the power tools 🧰 instead of the art supplies 🎨. For now. #outhereontheprairie #houseflipping #houseflipper #houseflip #sanding #hardwoodfloors #restoration #oldhouse #northdakota (at North Dakota) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7zdSYGAVUp/?igshid=21f5sjqnvxjs

Progress! And this is all before we have even started to use the big sander we had to give in and rent. Husband has had to do most of this because I’ve been sick - he’s an incredibly motivated house flipper! And we both love restoring houses to their former glory. Carpet, be gone! Hardwood forever! 🙌🏻 My next job is trying to match the color of the trim so we can get the right color for the floors. There is no indication anywhere of what color was used anywhere because the house is over 100 years old. That should be a fun task! I’m the color person on our house flipping team - but usually it’s paint. So this is a new challenge! Wish me luck 🏡 #outhereontheprairie #houseflipping #houseflipper #houseflip #sanding #hardwoodfloors #restoration #oldhouse #northdakota (at North Dakota) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8UvVeDgIJN/?igshid=1git27xknuftp
