I am shocked at how much progress as been made at the flip house this month. After the foundation work was complete the projects have just been coming along at a great rate.
The foundation need minor adjustments because the house had already undergone major foundation repair years earlier. Olshan Foundation was the company we went with because they had done the initial work on the house and was the best price for the additional work that needed to be done.
Next the bathroom conversion started to pick up pace. My contractor hired the plumbers to come out and move the toilet and shower over in the hall bathroom in order to add a standing shower in the master bathroom.
The bathroom on the left is the master, while on the right is the hall bathroom. The sheet rock was finished today along with new texture to the walls. We will be able to begin painting the bathrooms this week and then tile will go in next weekend.
The kitchen area is also coming along nicely. The garage door has been relocated to the side wall, opening to the dinning/living room instead of opening to the small kitchen. This now gives us space to relocate the frig to where the door used to be and add a peninsula off of that wall to give more counter and cabinet space. Cabinets will hopefully be coming the week after next. We hope to paint the kitchen next week so that we don’t have to paint around the cabinets.
The hallway ceiling was raised to the regular 8 foot height. The ceiling in the hallway had been dropped to accommodate the duct work for the HVAC unit. We have relocated the HVAC to the attic and rerouted the duct work through the entire house.
The electrician has also been at the house adding recessed lighting in the hallway, living room, kitchen, and bathrooms. He also up-dated switches and plugs throughout the house. We will also have to up-date the breaker boxes to the house as well, a not so glamorous expense.

You can see in the photo on the left the wall between the living and dining room. The wall is now gone and the house has a much bigger, open, and brighter feel to it. The sheet rock needed to be repaired in every room. The crew finished re-texturing the walls and ceiling today. I can’t wait to get in there and start painting!
Mom, daughter, and I worked hard today refinishing the doors to the house. To save a few dollars, we have spray painted the handles black and cleaned up the hinges which will also be sprayed black. We repainted the doors a nice bright white to make everything look fresh and new again.
The house is really coming along and things are looking great! I am excited to start to see paint and tile happen. Then windows and cabinets will be next!
