Technically, Old Buddy scrubbed the flipping house, under the direction of Hick. We had a couple days of warmer weather, so on Tuesday, Hick loaded up his power washer and got the job done.
The north side of Bargain House looked like this:
Such a nice bright day for washing a house. But the sky soon clouded up.
There's Old Buddy, earning his cash. He's the muscle to Hick's brains.
Looks like a NEW (used) HOUSE! I imagine on a sunny day, it will look even better.
Still waiting on the kitchen ceiling guy to finish the swirls, then painting. After that, Hick will put down the flooring, and move the stove and refrigerator in. He says there are a couple things that need to be done in the basement. And he wants to trim the bushes around the front porch, and do some structural work on it. The shower door for the small bathroom is on. Hick had to take up the shower base to attach it right, so he lost a half-day of work on that task.
Hick thinks Bargain House should be ready to list sometime in January. We'll see...
Looks like things are coming together. The house looks a lot better after the power wash. Good job, Buddy. When my mom and aunts and uncles got together to power wash and paint my grandmother's house ages and ages ago, my idiot uncle wrote his name in the siding with the power sprayer. It took my other uncle forever to get it sanded down enough for it to blend in with the rest of the house when they got around to painting it. The uncle that did it didn't live close by, and the other uncle lived within a quarter mile so got stuck with the job of fixing his idiot brother's handy work. Funny the things you remember about certain events. Anyhow, house it looking quite cute now, more than ever. Hick and Buddy can be proud of their hard work. Ranee
ReplyDeleteThey have done a good job. I'm glad they didn't want to use the side of the house as a mural!
