N Kerby goes to the Queen of Moon Rock

Chris couldn’t be happier that our clients fixer house and detached plywood palace has been sold to the creator of the Moon Rock.  Maybe you’ve seen Ruth’s glow-in-the-dark ceramic glazed rocks in the pet aisle of Wallmart that offer fish a day-glow place to escape?  If not, check them out.  Navigating the often bumpy waters of a rehab loan, Ruth and her buyers agent took my partners lead in helping them through their purchase. This is what a true ‘win-win’ looks like in the real estate industry.  All parties in alliance, rooting for a buyers/sellers success.  This deal took patience and trust on the part of the seller, who was incredible to work with, a tenacious buyer with just the right quirks to see the potential in this space and then Chris.

My business partner often blows me away at how good he is at his job.

Aquarium creations will soon be sculpted inside the shop on the right.  Once it’s fixed up of course.

Getting Her Done For Our Clients

 

Pandemic …. Smoke …. Gresham speed traps ….

Chris and I are not letting anything stand in our way to meet a deadline for a clients home.  This fixer is due to hit the market in a week.  Our workers haven’t been able to get as much done during the 3 week time frame as we were given. That’s when we pull out our BIG brushes and get to work. Here is my dearest work partner painting away along side of me. Our clients don’t know that we are the one’s painting the exterior of the home and we don’t plan on telling them.  When you give someone your word that you will make it to market on a chosen date, then you suck it up and do whatever is needed to make that date.  I love how Chris and I work together.

He truly is the best work buddy.

 

Contractor Tips on Winterizing Your Home

I stopped by the studio at KATU to talk about winterizing your home. It’s safe to say there’s nobody I’ld rather talk about this with, than this woman right here. Tra’Renee is so much fun. Below are the highlights.

  1. Put in Storm Windows
  2. Clean Gutters and divert water away from your house.
  3. WIFI or Programable thermostat
  4. Replace your furnace filter
  5. New frost proof hose bibs or shut off valve to old hose bibs
  6. Bucket of salt

Wondering which thermostat to install or what the long, green corrugated thing is? Or just want a laugh? Watch the 6 minute interview segment here
