You got ripped off on the lawns, Amy. I did that too and got no less than $20 a yard PLUS the use of the pool afterwards!!! It’s all in the perks!!!!

Amy, that’s pretty amazing. I’m a dreamer and a schemer too. I love having ideas. If your ideas are like mine, its a good thing you have a husband who is a realist. I don’t have a husband, but I also don’t have any money. That’s probably a form of God’s protection from lots of “great” ideas.

wow, I’m impressed. I cannot even imagine doing all that. I have a friend who does, though…amazing woman…and she’s had cancer 2x and a brain tumor once, and yet she still installs sky lights in her living room.

Wow! Amazing. But I already said that.

Jul, My dad was a banker.

Terri, Have you seen that Charlie Brown special where Lucy is pouting about her Christmas presents and she’s asked what she really wanted and replies… real estate.

Oh Amy, you are so totally normal!–At least in my view.
What did your father do occupationally?
Mine was a self-employed drywall contractor who added on to his house and yard every year in some way.
Two of my three brothers are self-employed general contractors. My other brother keeps buying houses, or building them…fixing them up and selling them. My only sister has completely transformed her giant golf-ball shaped house.
My husband tells me “You can take the girl away from the Clark (my maiden name) but you can’t take the Clark out of the girl.”

When other people buy a house, they usually redecorate it. By the time I was “done” however (these things never really get done), the house had been remodeled. Walls had been knocked down, floors were ripped up, and half the sod had to be removed to make way for fourteen flats of annuals. Then we moved a year later and started over at the “new” house.

This sounds all too familiar. Particularly with a wife now pregnant, in a new home (2 yrs. now) with little “interior touches” finished, who is experiencing serious “nesting cravings” to boot, it is all too real… in spite of the fact we own a new home. Amy, congrats on your real estate successes.

Thanks for the reminder, Amy. Our husbands are such a blessing to us. My Dh even moved all the way from Wyoming to Georgia because of my scheming. And I know most of it is postpartum hormones for me, but when you blogged at last that you are looking foward to DH coming home, my eyes began to tear up. Ah, the joy in the simplest things is so great.

Wait, wait, wait…you love God, Elizabeth Elliot *and* realestate? Me too! I’m trying to talk my beloved computer geek into taking the leap to muli-units…You should see my spreadsheet! I’m accounting for maintenance and unoccupiency! W00-Hoo!!
