Gettin’ over the hump
So everything is in place now. I’ve got the website up (here). Legal papers have been created and customized. Insurance has been purchased. Equipment is at the ready. All I need now are…. customers… I don’t know anything about marketing. I mean, I’ve been a web developer in some fashion for many many years. Along…

Things nobody thinks about at first
So saga of my Tent rental business continues. Some of the tents that I’ve purchased for rentals are called ‘pole tents’. These tents have a canopy section (the part that’s shields the folks from rain/sun) and, (wait for it…) poles. These poles live at the 4 corners (and the 4 sides) of the tent (if…

Yea, you guessed it
I don’t take time to update this blog. It’s not at the top of my priority list. In fact, it may not even be ON the list at all. So I don’t have a whole lot to say here today. What I can say is that I’ve been intrigued by the idea of starting an…

Home Improvement – No Tim Allen needed
So for the last year (yes, it’s been a year now) we’ve been slowly redoing many parts of the house. I’ve replaced ceiling fans. I’ve mounted Televisions. I’ve replaced baseboard/trim in a couple rooms. We’ve repainted. We’ve hung floating shelves. Everything said, the house is coming along nicely, and it almost seems like human adults…

Some progress
So my attempts at woodworking are coming along nicely. I have completed my first project. I’m calling it a Shoji Lamp. It’s a small wooden lamp that utilizes a battery powered tea light as its source of illumination. It stands around 11.5″ (or ~345mm) tall, is made of ash and maple and shoji paper. It’s…

Holiday magic
So I now officially have my Real Estate Salesperson license. It’s in an Inactive state because I haven’t selected a brokerage to ‘hang my license’ at. Basically, to make Real Estate transactions in Georgia, you must be associated with some brokerage. I have chosen an online company called EXP Realty to be my broker, but…

Moving forward, maybe?
So I attended a Real Estate investor group meeting a couple weeks ago. I came across it while browsing BiggerPockets forums. It was in Fayetteville (at the IHOP). I met several interesting folks there. All of them were investors. Some were Real Estate Agents, one guy was a licensed contractor (he was tired of trying…

Agent Time
So I was able to pass my Georgia Real Estate Salesperson Test. That said, I’m now eligible to get my License to practice in the state. There’s 2 ways you can get your license in Georgia, Active, or Inactive. If I opt for an Inactive license, I can take my test results, a criminal background…

TheRapist
So I started Occupational Therapy today for my left wrist. As some of you might remember, I fractured it during my motorcycle accident in May. As a result, I had to have the scaphoid bone in that wrist “Affixed” by having a screw surgically implanted in it. Now that I’m 6 weeks out from surgery,…
