Eat your lunch outside!
Hello, friends!
It’s Friday and 60 degrees out! We’ve been waiting over six months for this, so all I can say is that you’d better get out and appreciate it. Suck up some of that Vitamin D and purge the “winter yuck” from your system. We’ve got blue sky, birds, buds on trees, and lots and lots of mud. It’s gorgeous!
My stint as a “new construction specialist” is over as well. Yay! Personally, I’d much rather overhaul a century-old house than discuss condo upgrades. Unfortunately, I’m very transparent. And considering enthusiasm is contagious, I think I need to get back to what I get excited about: old houses!
Strong Redesign has gotten a tidal wave of business (thank you, referrals!). Everything from bathroom renovations to 2-story additions. So if you ever need a second opinion on a DIY project, or need a plan/estimate/construction crew for a major project, just give me a call. I’ll help however I can.
Now, if only I could take that crew into this house on Nicollet… You wouldn’t believe the potential in this place!

Potential in Tangletown!
Yes, this house has been on the market awhile, and I have to say that I’m pretty disappointed about that. What that says to me is that none of you Buyers have any imagination! The house has the coveted large kitchen, main floor ½ bath, three large bedrooms upstairs, huge yard, and fireplace. What more do you want? Yes, we need some updating, but having the right structure is most important. Changing the fit and finish is the easier part. Tangletown is one of my favorite neighborhoods because of the winding streets and varied topography. It’s one of the few areas where you forget you’re in the middle of the Minneapolis grid system. And you can walk to the Creek and the retail shops just south at Diamond Lake and Nicollet.
I hope to see some of you this weekend. Heck, while you’re breaking in the Creek trails, take the Nicollet exit and head north a couple of blocks. Who knows, I might have cookies for you.
Take care!
