So winter is a little late this year. A few of the ski mountains are open but I have yet to hit the mountains. Home renovations is coming to a point where i can start to relax. The tenant has moved in and is getting settled. The new kitchen is usable and a new driveway has just been layed.

Job front is a little uncertain right now. I will spare everybody the details until i get everything worked out.

So what is SledMods.com? It's a forum I started for the Colorado Snowmobile Community. I started it because of some problems that were going on with other snowmobile forums. It's got over 150 members and receives tons of visitors each day. It's go real time weather reports, mountain cams, snow levels, etc.

PowerSports Xchange is still up and running. The accessories are selling well but that's about it. I have no money to purchase new inventory so I will not be promoting it much this winter.

Hopefully my next post will be of my first time skiing or snowmobileing for this season.

House Renovation Update

Here are some before and after photos. NO where near done but a lot of progress has been made. The house is almost 3000 sq ft and every inch needed to be addressed. I have also split the house and have a renter moving in at the end of this month.

I also spent a lot of money regrading the property. Basically had to remove a ton of concrete

Basically all this concrete was removed. I had a french drain installed all along the back of the property.

Lots Lots Lots Going On in my Life

So it's been a long time since I've updated my blog. Where to start. Here we go:

House: The house is coming along. Basically blew the budget and had to touch each and every square foot of the house. It's been a MAJOR project but coming closer to an end each day. I am splitting the house and will be renting out half the house to a fellow snowmobiler friend. He will have a complete apartment for himself. A few wonderful suprises was stuff like $6k in landscape grading and a new boiler. The list keeps going but I will spare you the pain... or me the pain

Life: Yes it is true... you may have heard... I've been dating a wonderful girl for the past 5ish months.

PowerSports Xchange: Basically at a stand still but I launched PowerSports Xchange Idaho. Ron in Idaho has been doing great. I also launched www.sledmods.com, which is an online community of fellow rocky mountain snowmobile riders.

Job: ID Watchdog seems to be going well. We finally formed a partnership with a Community bank here in CO.http://home.businesswire.com/portal/site/google/index.jsp?ndmViewId=news_view&newsId=20071002006088&newsLang=en. Well the direction of the company isn't pointing in a direction that fits my business development approach so I have decided to leave and accepted a position as Regional Sales Manager for a distributor of PowerSports products. I know right up my alley.

So that's it for now. Later Lee

My New Project

Yesterday I closed on my 2nd Colorado property. Basically the condo I own in downtown Denver was not working out well with PowerSports Xchange. I needed more space and needed to get away from the HOA. This is the first foreclosure property I have ever purchased and let me just say it was a whole new experience for me.

The property is close to 1/2 an acre. It is almost 2000 sq ft and in a great quite neighborhood. It needs A LOT of work and will be the biggest project I have undertaken. I think I got a good deal. Paid $225k for it and the neighborhood is worth $300k but this house needs work. Wish me luck.
