jm1fd Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 What the!?!?! I've never seen that show. Is that for real? These house flipping shows are just too much.It is for real. Couple of queens in Hollywood flipping houses, but the show mostly centers around contrived day to day drama rather than the actual flipping process.

flipper Posted April 28, 2008 Author Share Posted April 28, 2008 flipper- i'm sure it differs, but whats the avg time you spend on these things? ever run 2 concurrently?8-12 weeks of actual construction is average.Yes, sometimes we have 2 going at once, although we try not to have 2 at the same phase at once.fliipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc281 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 one more question, why no backing on the insulation? or is it put in facing the other way...i've never seen it like this?http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b231/hou...rt/IMG_9492.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flipper Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 Honestly, I don't know why they use the batts without the paper face. I don't think the paper provides any R-Value.Sorry I'm not more help.flipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texas911 Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 The paper is so that you don't get any fiberglass on you. Mostly made for consumers. Pros know how to handle batt without the paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flipper Posted June 3, 2008 Author Share Posted June 3, 2008 For what it's worth, the house in Spring Valley that is at the beginning of this thread was sold last week. Sold for $662,500, 10 days on the market.Things are progressing nicely at the house on page 2 of this thread. The Trim carpenter is finishing up. We are set to close on another house in Westbury in a couple weeks.flipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not had lucking finding it in Houston.Thanks.Yes. We get it at Interceramic on Richmond, just East of the RR Trax. They only sell to contractors though. It's ~ $13-$20 a foot.flipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
