You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. some may be significant only to you. some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experience. - President Hinckley

House Flipping....

We started flipping homes in May.  This is our second and it was a doozy.  Travis started on it after he was finished hunting in September.  We repainted in side and out, redid carpets, vinyl, trim, sod, fence, etc.  It was  a huge undertaking and a disgusting task.  The interior had gum plastered on the walls and fireplace stone, marker and nail polish on the walls, and the nastiest bathtubs and showers you can imagine.  I did some major overhaul cleaning - it was ridiculous.  I've never been so sore from cleaning and painting.   Travis even had the opportunity to fall off of the ladder while painting outside...he's lucky he didn't break both knee caps! I wish we had good before pictures but we didn't take any.  So I have a few afters and one exterior before.  What an undertaking.  (this property sold in December for $1k less than our asking price) woot woot!
