Check out my latest flip house, the Cliffhanger. I'm excited to finally jump in on another project and to share it with you!

Flippin’ Friday: Coming Together

Marianne — Fri, 01 Nov 2019 23:06:11 +0000

Happy Friday folks! Somehow it is November, and I’m feeling the crunch. In addition to all of the Christmas activities, this time of year also brings my two girls’ birthdays. We have two exciting weddings to attend and my parents’ 50th anniversary to celebrate! These are all wonderful things; I’m feeling super blessed. But nonetheless,...

Garage Update: Moving In

Marianne — Sun, 13 Jan 2019 17:42:39 +0000

I would love to be able to make this a “reveal” post, but it’s just not in the cards. There is still painting to be done along with landscaping. And then there is a little never ending issue with the Bermuda shutters (more on that later). So its going to be an ongoing project, and...

Garage Update: We have (some) siding

Marianne — Thu, 25 Oct 2018 16:00:05 +0000

You hear that? It’s the sound of a train screeching to a halt. Yup, that’s all you can hear at our house right now because this… garage… is… moving… so… slowly. We are getting there, but progress is hard to come by! I’m trying to be patient, but now that we are getting frost, I’m...

Flipping Friday! Hit the Deck

Marianne — Sat, 15 Sep 2018 00:20:08 +0000

Happy Friday! So I may not have a ton to show you guys, but it is exciting to see things progressing. Outside, the deck boards and rails were replaced, and it is feeling much nicer (and more sturdy) 🙂 Inside, we have floors! Unfortunately, we decided to not refinish the hardwood floors. There were just...

Garage Update

Marianne — Thu, 13 Sep 2018 18:10:29 +0000

Things have been slowing moving along here, but there are a lot of visual changes since the last time I checked in. For one, we have a roof! Here is how it looked over labor day weekend. It took some time to get used to the height of this building, but I know it’s worth...

Garage Update: Concrete & Walls

Marianne — Thu, 30 Aug 2018 23:19:57 +0000

Curious to see how our garage is moving along? I know I love to see the progression of things, so here it is, from start to where we are now! After finally getting the fence out of the way, the ground was cut to prepare for the posts… Posts in the ground, and dirt prepped...

Flippin’ Friday: The Angler

Marianne — Fri, 17 Aug 2018 15:12:32 +0000

It’s time for another flippin’ Friday! We are still very much in the early stages, which means we are still tearing out. Remember the basement? This pic is just a tiny portion of it. But now it’s cleaned out! The other big changes are in the kitchen, which isn’t a surprise because with this house,...

Our Garage/ Pool House: Breaking Ground!

Marianne — Thu, 16 Aug 2018 16:53:36 +0000

It’s amazing how a little bit of dirt can be so exciting! We built our house and put in a pool 5 years ago, and we’ve been planning to do this ever since. We’ve had a lot of ideas and iterations, and over the years it has changed a bit as our needs have changed....

Flippin’ Friday: Let’s Flip Again!

Marianne — Fri, 27 Jul 2018 11:31:02 +0000

Here we go again! I just took possession of my latest flip house, so it’s time for a little tour. And I don’t use “little” lightly… 🙂 She really is a baby… 2 bedrooms, 1 bath… more on that later. The smallest part is definitely the kitchen, and you’ll see later how the previous homeowner...
