Consider buying a fixer! 

They always cost more than you think, and the aggravation is worse than expected, but doing a few repairs or remodeling may be a way to turn a sow’s ear into a silk purse!

Check out these three OSHA rejects:

For the record, permits are pulled and a general contractor is on-site!

    This just came over from a friend/client, and helps put life into perspective:

    Hey mom. Im okay. The two helicopters that crashed were ours. The huey was the one that I was on about an hour before it all happened. Of the 6 (2 cobra pilots, 2 huey and 2 crew chiefs) only the right seat huey pilot and the left side crew chief survived. I can’t say names or anything, but I knew all of them. It not the same without them here. Weve been pretty fucked up with it all. The other huey pilot that died was our OIC in Iraq. And the crew chief was one of our friends. It really sucks that this happened. One of the cobra pilots was from 367. He came out with us to get everything ready for his squadron. The other cobra guy had a 1 yr old and wife that’s 8.5 months pregnant. We miss them all very much and have the 2 survivors in our prayers. If you could have people pray for them we’d appreciate it. I’m not religious or anything but the crew chief is going to germany cause his lungs are all fucked up, he has internal bleeding and a dislocated hip as well as a broken pelvis. The pilot lost his left leg from the knee down. His right leg is really fucked up but they say itll make it. He has to get rushed to the states for heart surgery and hes not doing well. Ive got to get going. I love and miss you all very much and cant wait to get out of this place.
    Less than 10 days.

    You see the headline in the paper and it just washes over you. Reading something like that gives you just a tiny taste of what the situation must actually be like. I’m sure living in it is ten thousand times worse.

    That’s messed up. I’m so sorry for your friend, and will keep them all in our prayers. Thanks for sharing the note, Jim.

    Jim, nice job on the demo! I fully support immediate removal of “Cultured Marble”…. George Carlin never used that in one of his acts did he? It seems to dovetail nicely with Jumbo Shrimp!

    With 20% of Californians out of work it looks like your contractor hires illegals! I hope they have green cards!

    Jim, just to clarify… who’s house is this? Is it a foreclosure that you are renovating to get it to sell?

    JtR, thanks for sharing the letter and they are surely in all our prayers. Too bad the commander in chief doesn’t give a rats a@s.
