When I’m outside of the 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 three years working on a multi-family building in Cincinnati’s historic Prospect Hill neighborhood and our home in East Walnut Hills. Now, we are trying our hand at flipping a house in Price Hill’s Incline District. 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 my resources with our Q102 family. (-tim)

Things are happening inside the house, so we thought we’d get a jump on this backyard. It has been ignored for the last few years (I’m guessing) and is overgrown with vines, weeds, trees, and all sorts of interesting plants we’ve never seen before!!!
We have big plans for our new project house. Beautiful bathrooms, a functional kitchen, a yard you can actually use, and none of it can happen until we remove all the old stuff! We found out our building was built around 1870! Thanks for watching an …
