Cumberland RD Update

Here are a few pictures of the on-going work of the Cumberland RD unit, which previously had a tenant whom I had evicted. Steve Stairs, the contractor doing the work on the unit, charged me $2,400 to strip all the old wallpaper from the walls, patch several areas of the sheetrock, paint everything (including the ceiling), paint the moldings and part of the bathroom a separate color, replace an entire bedroom wall with new sheetrock (the old wall was falling apart too badly to simply patch), replace the front door with a solid door, and replace two bedroom doors. I will post new pictures as soon as he finishes.

Over the weekend I took some pictures of an old police car and some birds taking a bath. DJT, I thought you might like the police car. 🙂

  1. Wow… can’t wait to see the place when it’s done. Sure looks like a HUGE project.

    As for the police car – COOL! Thanks! There’s a guy around here that took a 65 Ford Galaxie and made it into a State Police Car. I always thought about getting stickers made for my Galaxie for the Mayberry Police. 🙂

  2. Yea, it’s a pretty big project. But hopefully I wont have to renovate it again for a couple of years, so it should be worth it. I used to be renting it for $1000 a month no utilities, but I’ll be happy to get $800 a month with gas included now. I haven’t made a penny from that unit in over 15 months.
