Flipping Projects
I’ve just arrived back from an amazing vacation in Old Quebec City. I took a week off of work and left with my boyfriend on Tuesday November 13th for one of the most romantic cities ever. It was a first visit for both of us. It amazes me how a city can be so inspirational on so many different levels. I simultaneously wanted to buy a tiny flat and go into hiding as a starving artist, but I also wanted to open up my own renovations company. Man could you ever make a killing in that city doing renovations. Renovations are the only thing keeping that city together right now.
And then I got to thinking. That is something I’d really take pleasure in doing. I grew up in the construction and real-estate business, so I understand what is involved in residential finishing and such. I’m not saying I want to start a renovations business or anything, but I think it would be an amazing experience to purchase a somewhat run-down house and to re-finish it for myself. While I was walking down the streets of Old Quebec, just a few feet from the sidewalk would be a half basement apartment, set in a Victorian style house, and someone would be reading at their tiny computer desk in a half bay window set against dim lighting and surrounded by old world décor. It looked so cinematic – too perfectly quaint, warm, and inviting. I’ve always dreamed of having a house that you just want to be in. Where you feel good and inspired when you sit down at your computer desk – like just sitting there is fulfilling some kind of purpose within itself. Like you’re presence is completing a picture. I know I’m getting carried away, but it’s thoughts like this that drives you to realization. Halifax would be a perfect city to do such a thing.
Anyway, this is something I am looking to get involved with. I’d call it house-flipping, but instead of the end result being payoff for investment, I just want to enjoy it for myself. For now anyway.
Besides that I am currently working on the NHL Feed Nova Scotia write-up. I am just now getting the chance to get it finished up, seeing as the couple of weeks leading up to my vacation were hectic.
Bizzy!
