I really think the kitchen transformation is amazing.<br /><br />What a blessing that your dad had the foresight to provide for this to be done. It must have been difficult doing that with so many memories in the house.<br /><br />Your story about managing the apartment complex is amazing. I should kick myself in the pants for being lazy sometimes. Thankyou for your example.Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09929299128040779462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6630829430019968762.post-28473102982309481232010-08-20T15:31:14.835-05:002010-08-20T15:31:14.835-05:00Donna,

We got rid of so much. We painted and replaced floors. It didn't sell, but that's okay. I have enjoyed the improvements. We may relist next year if the market is better. The realtors (and I used to be one, ages ago) always say if it is priced right it will sell. Sorry, I think that is a little mixed up. In this market if you are willing to sell your house for "way" less than it is worth it will sell.<br />Good luck. I hope this house sells quickly.Debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04242778760582160429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6630829430019968762.post-55849392582150745292010-08-20T07:23:29.172-05:002010-08-20T07:23:29.172-05:00Hi Everyone, Thanks so much!

We once managed a 24 unit apartment complex while Tim was finishing college. At the time they had one whole building, of the three unrented. The apartments were nasty..lots of grease from international students cooking but not using overhead vents..and matted cobwebs an inch thick hanging from ceilings. We cleaned and painted like crazy and by the time we left, the had a 2 year waiting list of college students wanting to rent them. The owners were so impressed they begged us to stay, but of course, apartment management was not in Tim's career plan. He is a programmer and loves it. However, one of the guys was a corporate head hunter and did Tim's professional 'resume' for him and offered him a fabulous job. If it hadn't required 80 hour work weeks, Tim would have taken it in a heartbeat. (I once mentioned this job offer in my post about Livin' on a Shoestring and Lovin' it.)Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00944882257793647449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6630829430019968762.post-42142544900886354912010-08-20T05:11:44.104-05:002010-08-20T05:11:44.104-05:00Good Morning Donna,

My prayer is that the house will move quickly for you...perhaps you should consider this type of "family work"? <br />Have a blessed day,<br />LauraLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08803113715498282796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6630829430019968762.post-9240803601220307282010-08-20T01:00:49.708-05:002010-08-20T01:00:49.708-05:00You all have done an amazing job.
