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, and now our Coney Island Cottage in Mt. Washington. 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)
