Damn -- ugh! Its every year at about this time that I quite simply shut down. I get the winter blues. Like a delicate flower, I need sun, sand, water and a little fertilization (in the form of alcohol). I need a vacation. So when you watch this video, just know that I wished I was somewhere else while I was shooting it.

Anywho, we’ve made some serious progress on this place in just a few short weeks. We’re essentially ready for sheetrock. Check it out now, ’cause the next time you’ll see it, it will be a whole different place.

There’s something about Mary…Avenue. We’ve been working on this monstrosity for about two weeks. Once complete, this will be my second greatest “real estate” accomplishment -- that is because I’m about to get started on what will be my greatest. Stand by for that update.

Anyway, we picked up El-Crappo from a bank, of course. The original buyer flaked (he did not close) after he bid $10,000 over asking price. What an ass-hat! I wound up getting the house for $7,000.00 UNDER asking price. Hey, Ass-Hat -- I win. You lose. Game over!

Oh, did I mention the 15″ of water in the basement we found 1 day before settlement? Another great day!

Set up as multi-unit with a horrible layout, we will transform Mary from a 3/1 to a 4/2 with a killer modern, opulent and exquisite layout. Wait until you see the master-suite. It’s a room that just keeps giving. Long and short….my wife is pissed that I keep making houses nicer than the one we live in.

Check the video of all the before shots. Update 2 is already in the can, and will be coming soon.
