Good luck tomorrow!
What did the original residents think of the remodel?
Good luck! Make it work.
Tom,
Jim might’ve told you I’m in L.A. but like to spend my free time in SD. No free time this weekend, sad to say.
I know it won’t be until late this year, but I’ll make the next house’s opening for sure!
What did the original residents think of the remodel?
They were blown away – but they liked it. I think it had to be disconcerting to walk around a house/floor plan that you remember well from living there years ago, but it looking so much different than it did then.
He remembered the ceiling beams being wider, but they haven’t changed, other than the color.
Based on the neighbor’s “complaints”, I have a question.
Looking at the “old” fenceline and the sloped side yard, would it be possible to do one of the following if you were the buyer (I won’t be).
a) Install a retaining wall and bring the slope up to grade to extend the side yard and back yard?
b) Install an elevated deck on the slopes at the side and rear to extend the outdoor spaces?
Idle curiousity based on the neighbor’s comments and also the crazy lot lines shown on the redfin listing. 🙂 It seems like you could get a pretty nice view off of the southwest corner of the property with an elevated deck structure.
maybe the neighbor should pay tom to install some new plants to her liking?
#5, yes a retaining wall and deck would be a nice feature in back, and very doable.
On the side you’d have to abide by the setbacks, and there not much to look at, so little benefit.
I’m off and running today, and won’t be at the open house until 1 or so – Tom will be there at noon. Stop by if you get a chance!
Good luck Jim and Tom!
That flowering bush on the corner is kind of out of control, but that’s just one thing. Whack it back and call it a day.
Very nice job!
Love the original light fixture–I would have thought that was one of Tom’s additions.
The light fixtures are very distinctive in this house.
Hey Jim, it was really nice meeting you in person yesterday. I enjoyed our conversation! Best of luck with the sale once again.
I like to remain anonymous and keep my thoughts to myself.
For the side yard near the neighbor: since it is outside the fence, the perfect solution can be found from many of your past videos – Astroturf. Never needs watering, always green, ‘nice’ to look at from their side. Problem solved.
I wish I had the cash to have Tom and Crew do a remodel/build for me. He does absolutely wonderful work. Great craftsman.
I wonder if Tom has an investment fund…I’m sure there would be people here who would love to buy shares in his projects.
Jim, it is a real pleasure to see work of this quality. It is much too rare, as anyone in the business can attest.
Thanks Tom and everyone!
Another banner day at open house, and it looks like we’ll be selling it tomorrow.
A short video update later, plus that new REO listing in the Ranch, and then the bubbleinfo survey tomorrow!

My grandfather built high-end, 100% custom homes in the Northwest. These homes were of such superior design & quality that it became highly prestigious simply to own one.
Now we know that most of Tom’s are mid-market rehabs with purchased cabinets, etc., but the sharpness of his design and the quality of his work make me think that the people that buy his homes would proudly declare them to be “Tom Tarrant” homes.
