Progress On Project North KC

By
Real Estate Agent with Vizion KC

Things are moving along smoothly on Project North KC.  At this crews current pace the renovation should be done sometime next week.  Some of you may remember that this was the house with many holes. Our new assistant Abbey took these pictures.  Maybe one of these days we’ll get her on ActiveRain and maybe even on Twitter.

The bathroom has been set and all the tile work has been completed.  It looks like on this house our contractor has decided to go with a lighter shade of tile.

Kitchen

The kitchen is nearly complete.  This is the lightest granite we’ve ever used on one of our home renovations.  I think it plays well off of the lighter backsplash.

Living Room

The living room has also been completed.  The higher grade of carpet which we used in Project River Oaks has become a staple for our homes with carpet.  According to Abbey all the new windows and doors have also been installed.

This is the first house we’ve done in North KC and its also the first house where Abbey has been in charge of taking the pictures.  There’s a few small things I would’ve done differently but I think its best to let her learn in her own way.  For a first picture taking session I think she did great.

This is where we started.

On average we buy two houses a week.  But in order to buy that many we have to look at over 30 houses each day.  I wish I had a video camera to show you what it’s like.  Words don’t describe the experience.  I do my best to capture what I can on Twitter.

Greg -- Yeah I just changed a few days ago.  I figured it was time for an upgrade.

Thanks Rich this is the first house we've done in North KC.  I can't wait for it to be done.

Looks like this one might have been a handful.

Jack -- You're right this house was in real bad shape when we got it.  I would have done more progress posts but this house is in North Kansas City and I live in South Kansas City.  Long drive to make every week just for some pictues.

Rush -- How can I do this you don't even have an account.

Thanks Debbie the neighbors are always pleased with us renovating the nastiest house on the block and making it the nicest.  We're starting to get a little recognition from some of the HOA's which is a plus.
