Fixing Brick

A fair amount of brick rot on the front side of one of our properties.

Repointing the mortar & fixing bad bricks before we paint the front, I will leave the unpainted sides of the building natural.



New Properties

Newest additions. Like I needed another project!

Paid $1000, yes $1,000 for both of these duplexes.

The silver chute is the 3rd floor addaptor, directing the trash to the 2nd floor chute. The chute has become its own tourist attraction.

Messy Shop

Never seem to get this place cleaned up, always a project brewing.

4th Of July

Butte has no restriction on fireworks, so anything goes here, 4 dozen fireworks stands pop up throughout the city, selling anything from sparklers to $500 a piece mortar dispays.

I buy my fireworks from the girlscouts, Forget cookies.

$170 worth of fireworks. (240 mortars)

the whole town gets into it, for days before the 4th hundreds of people set off their own fireworks, making the town sound like a war zone. Best state ever.
