He Who Paints

The painter came yesterday and did a lot of work. I was amazed at how much he got done in just a few hours. He will paint the kitchen, then dining room, then hallway. We've not discussed the back porch area yet. After the inside is done, he plans to do the outside. I'm getting excited about how it will all look. This morning Jason and I talked about the screened in room. I think I have him convinced that redoing that room will make the house far more valuable to potential buyers. He told me about a house down the street that's smaller with a smaller lot that's selling for $141K. We paid a little under $109K but plan to put $25K toward the fixup. Not a huge profit, but enough to pay off and then have $40K down payment on the next house. Plus we get to use the updates on this house until we sell. I'm excited!
