Really new here. The only forums I've ever posted on before was a free dating site.
I always wondered if there was anything else out here in cyber land.
So, a big HELLO! from me and I'm looking forward to getting answers to my questions, and maybe even helping out someone else in need of an answer.
I'm a Superintendent of a just right size building,(39 apartments), and it has turned out to be a great move for me. I used to do property maintenance for a big management company, and the work was always the same old stuff and never satisfying.
I never thought I would be a Super, but hey, don't knock it till you've tried it. I'm really lucky though, because the management company I work for are great people and very smart as well. They know you just can't rent out a place if it doesn't look nice, so I get two weeks to redo an apt, sometime up to a month. When that happens, I get to have afternoon nap's, and it's ohh so great.Mind you, I do work at night quite often, but hey, I only have to walk up some stairs to get to my job! I turn on my radio and off I go.
Now I pretty much get to pick my own hours, and I get to do all the extras for pay. This includes everything concerning a rental turnover.
I've been doing renovations for years and I'm mostly one of those Jill of
all trades people. LOL If I can fix it myself, then I can get paid for it.
So I do my best at fixing most things, but I leave some stuff to the experts. I really don't want to lay carpets, Or replace entire floors with vct tiles. That's too much like real work for me.
My forte is actually in painting, and I can take a wall that looks like crap and make it beautiful again. I can scim coat a wall with a hawk and trowel, along with the best of them. My most favorite thing to do is Decorative painting and faux finishing, which I don't get to do much of here. BUt.. I do have a huge basement all to myself here, and I have been getting it ready for furniture refinishing and whatnots.
Well, I guess I've gone on long enough. Thanks for reading this far and nice to meet you all.
