Flip a house without moving into it? ✅ That’s a first for me (Z) and let’s just say it’s been a ride. This has been on my “one day” list for years, and I can finally cross it off. Billy @tacticalbuildersllc invited me to join him on this journey and we took a house that smelled like a combination of sadness and cat pee, where the walls were more “texture roulette” than plaster, and gave it new life. We’re talking wonky floors that had me wondering if we’d fall into the crawlspace , a fireplace with rock that was buckling, and at least one questionable plumbing situation that had me Googling “what does that pipe do?” at 1am. Billy says it’s “the cutest house in Franklinville” and honestly, I can’t argue. It’s got charm, heart, and it’s sturdy as I’ll get out (now thanks to Billy) This post is all about the after because no one needs to see another photo of me covered in dust, holding a pry bar with that “I just realized we’re going to need a new subfloor” face. We did it- and it’s coming soon listed with @jbaumeyer_exprealtornj tacticallybuiltstyledpretty houseflip flippinghouses diyrenovation beforeandafter renovationlife homegoals diyjourney fixerupper flippingfun flippinghomes homemakeover franklinville diyhacks historiccharm thisoldhouse diyhomeprojects renovationlove homeinspo flipitgood oldhouselove
