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
