                         I guess we opened a can of worms!  We could not have imagined such a simple suggestion would cause such a BIG STINK!

Mike came home the other evening all discouraged from the flip.  He said he feels we're aren't making headway as fast as we should be.  Well, he has ALWAYS hated to paint.  And he has always hated to paint TRIM especially!  And guess what is left to paint?  Yup.  Doors and miles and miles of tri...

Day 21Yup.  Picked it out today down at Florentine Countertops off Moreno Blvd in San Diego.  The color is cool - most granite is.  It has a black background with flecks of brown and green.  Nature is amazing, isn't it?  The black will pull in the black-framed garden window, the green will be a n...
