Business And A Birthday

So we finally decided to do it. Talked about it for a long, long time. Prepared for an equally extensive period. Now we are actually going to do it. Sugar Daddy and I are going to buy sad and depressed houses to fix up and sell. This is no Trading Spaces, slap a coat of paint and we are done, kind of venture. No, this is the gut the entire interior of a home and rebuild it. We have the experience. We even have the money. Now we just need the property.

I am hopeful on so many levels. First, this will give us the opportunity to bypass the customer. Not all customers are bad, but the women who spend 11 days agonizing over just the right shade of eggshell white paint drive me crazier. The men who look at laminate samples and begin to hyperventillate because there are too many choices make me sigh. People who want the start their remodel tomorrow but who cannot be bothered to chose materials for another 6 or 7 weeks drive me to drink. Ah, to bypass the customer. To look at Sugar Daddy and know that we can do what is impossible for so many, make a decision!

I also think this will be good for me mentally. When I need the time off because I just can't see the point in living and breathing at the moment, I will be able to take the mental health day, or week, or month.... When I am happy and full of energy, I can work 12 to 16 hour days, 7 days a week, without intruding on a customer's family time in the evenings and on weekends.

I can create. I love to create. I will build. I will mold spaces into functional and fun living areas.

We hope to purchase our first forclosure this Friday or next.

But first, a birthday on Saturday.
