Flip or Flop?

It took more than a month to fix up our house enough to move in.  So we extended our contract at the old house an extra month.  Moved out on February 28 and still had workers coming to our new (to us) house up until March 18.  Things were done quickly (quantity not quality), yet slowly.  For instance we gave our painters 3 weeks to paint the inside of the house.  The first 2 weeks we barely saw any progress, most of the paint was slopped on the last week, with drips and drops everywhere.  I shouldn’t complain because labor is cheap here, but the cost of the paint and the unnecessary diluent (which is another story in itself) are not cheap.  Unfortunately, the before pictures don't show all the work that needed to be done.  But, fortunately, the after pictures don't show all the little things that weren't done quite right.

It was a very frustrating process, and even though many things aren’t quite the way we wanted them, we are satisfied overall with the transformation.  We are happy to be living here finally, if even just for a month before we leave for home service.

Stay tuned for part 2.  When we return from home service, we plan to flip the exterior, including our future school building.
