Cary NC Lazy Daze Festival 2011 has been cancelled - Hurricane Irene is the reason.  35th Annual Lazy Daze in Cary is not happening this year! 

It will not be rescheduled for this year.  Check the official Town of Cary site here:

Dutchman Downs subdivision is in the middle of Cary (almost!) these days.  We purchased a nice brick ranch on 2.5 acres several years ago and chose to remodel the whole thing!  (WHAT WERE WE THINKING???)

So I'm starting at TOWARD the end of this story (still a long way to go)  but we're so excited with recent progress that I've just GOT to share some of it.

In the next several posts, I'll go back to the start...the original looks of things, the removal of the original roofline, the waterproofing of the basement (not what we expected to spend mega $$ on!) and move through the next couple of years during this project.

At this point we are SO grateful we didn't finance this project, but chose to "pay as we go"!  We've been asked many times if we were planning to "flip" this house.....I DON'T THINK SO!  (Maybe because I'm a Realtor and my husband is a remodeling contractor??)

These are a couple of pictures of the master bathroom.  My husband, the wonderfulest contractor I've ever met, has built each and every cabinet in the house...each drawer, each cabinet door!!! 

The placement of the tile in this Master Bath took hours of searching for pictures of what I had in mind on Google.  And preliminary talks took weeks to try to convince him to change his thinking about ""horizontal vs vertical"...BUT now we do both love it. 

Hope you'll give your opinions too. 

Check out the trim around the windows - 1/2 inch mosaic tiles instead of wood trim.  Glass to the right into the shower.

Vertical 12x24 tiles, pebble rock floor in double shower, vertical mosiac accents, clear glass door & "windows"

Same 12x24 tiles on the wall, mosaic around the other window, 20x20 tiles on the floor.

Looking into the shower - notice the vertical accent mosaics, double shower heads, diagonal floor tiles.

Custom built vanity - sink on either side, shaker style fronts and will have custom concrete countertops.  (Left side is mine :-)

For the third year in a row Nellie Lytvinenko voted Best Realtor in Cary NC !  Wow! 

I am honored and happy!

And glad you all took my threats of tomatoes thrown at your houses worked! :-)

Seriously, thank you to all who voted for me!

NetApp - Network Appliance relocation. 

I bought Marie & Steve for $30 before they moved to Cary NC for a job transfer with Network Appliance  .

I was purchasing "leads" from an online company.  They would send me basic information about home buyers and/or sellers, I would respond in a timely manner, I would pay the $30, and then I would receive the potential home buyer's or seller's contact information. 

It was a LOT of work and time.  It was a frustrating experience many times.  It was conversations like: "oh, sorry it was my teenager playing around"; "I was just checking things out in your area, I'm NOT moving from Wyoming to NC"; "I did not realize someone would actually call me", etc.

There were so many fake email address and phone numbers.  BUT then there was Marie!  I called her AND she answered her phone!  She was a real person.  And her husband was being transferred by  Network Appliance  to work Research Triangle Park NC .  

NetApp is a great company.  They continue to be on the upswing.  They seem to take care of their employees...even in the down times.  NetApp is growing and continuing to be consistently high quality! 
So...over the last couple of years...Marie has become the younger sister I never had.  And Steve is a rock.  Both are so very kind, giving and caring people.  They bought a home in Preston subdivision of the Cary/Morrisville area.

 
They are the best $30 bucks I've EVER spent!  Wonderful friends!
