Back in November the wife and I bought a place in Scottsdale, AZ for the purpose of renting, and occasionally staying there ourselves. We already have one in Gilbert, AZ and we stay there usually for Christmas, Thanksgiving and a few odd stays. Its always nice to just get into the sun and out of WA. Anyway the first house we did some minor upgrades and all in all I would say took about a month to finish. On this one I think our eyes got way too wide and we greatly underestimated the time it would take to do a project that we set out to do.
For the second house we completely redid the kitchen with all new counters, countertops, and fixtures. The whole house had most of the fixtures redone, it was repainted and all the bathrooms were upgraded. Then in the backyard the pool was redone, we added a waterfall, and a putting/chipping green. All of this took 3 months, so, for 3 months Kathryn has been in Scottsdale acting as a GC. I'd say she's really gotten good at it and I"m super happy about the end result.
