“Shoulda, woulda, coulda” never got anyone anywhere. I like excuses and regrets less than most people. Most of the time, I think they’re a waste of valuable air. That being said, I should’ve been trying to sell our houses over the last few months. It’s not that I got lazy or too busy. It’s that [...]
It was a tough couple of days at House 14! As a stress reduction exercise, I treated Michael to a nice Mexican meal and a couple of margueritas (hiccup).
We didn’t get to all the things I told you we’d do at House 14. I’m always over-exuberant about our abilities as a two-person construction team. Who [...]
Well, there’s not much to report currently. I’ve just been doing some mundane things for our business. I’ve been fighting with Quickbooks, trying to get it to import the transactions from the American Express site for our biz credit card. I scheduled the House 14 carpet installation for Tuesday.

When it looked like it might be just about time to have some carpet and vinyl flooring [...]
Well, this morning, I came this close to putting an offer on an apartment complex. It has a lot of the ingredients for being a good fixer-upper–it’s got a great location; it’s ugly; and, it’s suffering from poor management. HOWEVER, when our agent came over this morning to write the offer, he’d run comps on [...]
Sorry, everyone, for the recent delay in posting. My grandmother on my mother’s side passed away. I had to fly down most suddenly to Louisiana to be with the family. My mother only has dialup, so I didn’t think I’d even bother attempting to do anything online.
I found a little time before my return flight [...]
