Right after the first of the year
I signed on for a new venture!
My son thought this old dog (me)
might still be able to hunt
so he asked me to partner up with him,
another friend, and MyHero
for a two year period.
At the end of two years
MyHero and I will bow out
and the "boys" will take over.
MyHero has had his broker's license
since 1976.
In WI you have to work under a broker
for two years until you can become
a broker--
--thus the two year commitment
on our part--
Although MyHero will continue to work
as a chaplain at the hospital.
I will work full-time at the office.
ANYWAY--
that's the background.
We rented offices downtown that needed
TOTAL REHABBING.
First I will show you something
PRETTY
and then I will get down to the
NITTY-GRITTY!!!!
That sits on top of my file cabinet-
no candles yet- they are still at the house...sigh...
The rest of the place
is pretty much rustic and retro thanks to
The Boys!
These are SOME of the before/after shots.
I will do more of them as we get the rest
finished and decorated.
There is a conference room
and another area not shown here.
My office:
The Back Room:
The Entry Hall:
This is a reverse shot-before is looking down the hall-
after is looking in thru the door that replaced the
solid wood one.
Don't you love the old ribbed glass?
The main office:
My office is the "window"
on the right side of the before picture
just this side of the
server/bar area.
Old office torn out-
New Seating Area:
My son worked round the clock
to get this up and running.
In between all the remodeling
he managed to make
5 sales and list properties.
I am so proud of how hard he works.
Our daughter-in-law also
got her license and we have
another new man starting this week.
We will cap the office at 6 people
at this point in time.
I forgot to take a picture of our sign
and our website is just up but not
functional yet.
Here is the link to it if you want to take a peek.
In between all of this I did manage to
sneak away to Florida
for a few days!
And just to leave you with a smile-
My Irish Princess Daughter
decided a party
was the perfect time for
everyone to wear their old prom dresses
or bridesmaid dresses.
This was her prom dress in 1996--
and Bright Eyes wore her pageant dress-
another princess in the making?
YOU BETCHA!!!
Have a wonderful day and
bear with me as I get back into
THE SWING
of blogging.
I have thought of quitting but then realize
that I love all of you guys so
I KNOW I WOULD MISS
ALL OF YOU---
So---for the time being you are
STUCK WITH ME!!!
ps- I have SO MUCH to tell you
and will try to do that in the
upcoming days!
