Eggshell from Hell

One piece of advice The Investor did give us was to use good paint, something we’d already decided to do. He mentioned Home Depot had a sale on Behr paint, but we needed to hurry. The sale ended July 5th. (Just to reiterate, we began the flip on July 1st.)

Those first few days of work were brutal, long grueling hours of physical exertion. One evening after I’d showered, I dragged myself to the Home Depot closest to our duplex and did my best to make decisions.

I knew I wanted neutral shades in the same color palette. And I didn’t want to paint every room the same color. For about thirty minutes I studied my options, running to the back of the store to match my choices with the countertop I had picked out, a brown and cream laminate made to look like granite.

Hello Again!

Life has a way throwing you a curve ball or two.  At least that′s my excuse.

I really hate excuses, but I seem to need one for why I suddenly stopped writing on my blog.  All will be revealed in due time.  For now I want to tell my faithful readers how sorry I am.  I will do everything in my power not to let it happen again.

I′ve spent some time trying to figure out how to approach this re-entry into blogdom.  Do I start from the present and work backwards?  Do I work from where I left off and go from there?  I tend to want to write in chronological order, but that′s not always the best solution.  Suggestions are always welcome.

At this point all I can say is:  Expect anything.

I′m glad you′ve decided to join me on this journey.  Hang on.  It should be a fun, but bumpy ride.  I′ll do my best to keep it interesting.

Keep reading and I′ll keep writing.

Happy Transformation,

Shawn
