Horror or Love Story

Today, my partners and I acquired the most “interesting” property of my five year house rehab career. This house is in a good neighborhood and has a solid structure. It definitely deserves a second chance.

Drum-roll, please…

So, what do you think? A horror story or a love story? Pretty puky at this point, huh? 🙂

I am very passionate about infusing new life into old houses.

Making Fairfield beautiful, one house at a time.  Wish us luck! 🙂

Here’s my last project: http://www.ououborneo.com/2009/restoration-project/

A very good friday

14 days have passed by since I started my detox. I’ve lost ten lbs so far and am feeling great!

Every day is the usual fruit and veggie juice … it’s definitely boring. I tried not to watch cooking shows and see any food photos. Keeping myself busy also helps me from thinking about food too much.

I am not writing a fasting journal this time. I wrote a detailed one back in 2006. Here’s the link http://absoluteliving.blogspot.com/.

Karan and I have been fixing 104 West Jefferson for the past two months. We hired Bob Kiefer as our contractor. It has been such a pleasure working with him.

I’ve learned so much in this project. When all the people were enjoying their weekends and nights, we had to run to Menards so many times to get construction supplies. Also, during precious lunch time, we had meetings with contractors to be on top of every detail. We didn’t cut any corners at all and that makes me feel great. The renovation is finally done and the open house will be tomorrow and the day after, 1-3pm.

The house looks amazing. I am so proud of myself.

I am looking forward to getting my hands on the next project soon.

Here’s a copy of the open house flier. I will post some before and after photos when I have some time.
