I like buying houses, fixing them up and selling them for a profit.
This is also known as a flip house. I come from a very handy family. It is quite easy for me to get everything back in tip top shape and sell within a year. I like that I have another home to house all my extensive tools and an ongoing project. My wife frequently comes to the flip house and helps me out. We have done some massive projects together. I have moved a load bearing beam before, knocked down tons of walls, added ductwork, installed a gas fireplace, removed a cast iron tub and so much more. One of the more labor intensive projects was scrapping a vaulted popcorn ceiling. On the top rung of my tallest ladder I could barely reach. It was horrible getting that popcorn off and then painting the ceiling. While I was up there I figured it was smart to remove the air vents and replace them with new ones. I noticed after removal that the ductwork wasn’t centered on the vent. It actually was off by about two to three inches to the left. That meant all the air conditioning leaving the vent was basically getting trapped in the wall. I always wondered why the living room was so hot. That is unfortunately one of those things I just didn’t have time to fix. It wouldn’t add value to the house or make a sale. So I covered it up with a new vent. I feel bad that some families are going to have high energy bills though because of duct placement.
