First post

Hi and welcome to My Real Flip. I think my first post will be a summary on what I have already done up to this point. I may write a post for some of those points before I start writing about the current day to day activities. I am just finishing up the Valance removal at this point and time and am ready to remove most of the interior wall drywall on the main floor. I also have reviewed the drawings for my new garage and layout and am having revision number 2 done now. I need to hire a land surveyor now in preparation for final drawings and the permit stage.

I moved in Oct 2010, so it has been 4 months. In that time I have done a lot, even though it does not feel like much.

- Move in and get as organized as possible after life changing events
- Tree removal and trimming around entire property just to get vehicles in and prepare to build a fence.
- Clean easement area.
- Build a fence a 3 gates with 2 temporary fence lines.
- Remove and level a garden so big, 100' by 30' or so surrounded by logs and rail ties for the compost area.
- Clean all the gutters from inches of tree debris.
- Powerwash driveway and concrete, fill concrete holes and dips in the driveway.
- Removal of all valances (5 total) 3 bedrooms, living room and dining room.

I will post a before picture and after picture of the front of the house. I will need to take a picture tomorrow for now, here is the before picture.
