Q102 101.9 WKRQ-FM Cincinnati | Radio Music Entertainment
When I’m outside of the Q102 studio, I have my hands in all sorts of things, including a bunch of real estate and home renovation projects. We have spent the last five years working on a handful or projects including a multi-family building in Cincinnati’s historic Prospect Hill neighborhood, our home in East Walnut Hills, a flip in Price Hill’s Incline District, a 1905 home in Oakley, the Coney Island Cottage in Mt. Washington, and now a two family AirBnB project!
A lot of you have asked to share this process, (how do you do it? how do you develop your design? do you have a guy who does flooring/plumbing/kitchens, etc) so I’ll be posting pictures and video updates of our renovation along the way. Enjoy and feel free to ask about anything – I am happy to share the lessons we learned with the Q102 family. You can see more at resisttheboring.com (-tim)

Before all the pretty stuff can go in – we have to get messy first and get all the old junk out. It’s always a slow start. I really don’t like the demo portion of the renovation project, but doing it yourself is a great way to save money!

Chris has wanted to do an AirBnB house for a few years and I have resisted because it can come with much more upkeep – cleaning, paying the electric and internet, and dealing with people. THEN….. we were walking Steve and passed a house in our neigh …
