Dear Richard,

I watched 2 episodes of Flip This House last night, and I can’t help but think I could do better than some of your staff. For example - your brother and the $40K bill for the Rock Hill house? That house was a clear and simple sugar coat - it didn’t need the fancy landscaping, or the sink ripped out, or the crown molding. I know John is your brother and all, but that was a very expensive mistake. I admire you for being able to work it out with the contractors!

Then I watched the Folly Island episode. Dang…Kevin needed a full time hard ass on site with him to talk him out of a few things. He treated that flip like his own personal project - rule #1 of flipping - don’t put emotion into it!! You’re a good man, and a lucky man, that you’re in the position to hold on to a house for $10K a month to keep a friend happy.

So Richard, here’s the deal - I’m volunteering to come up for a short flip - perhaps 5 days or so, to show Trademark Properties what I can do. Why me?

1. I’m a mother of three. In my house, I’m the hard ass. The kids know to go to Daddy first if they want something, because I’m not a soft touch. (Just the kind of thing you need for a contractor like Britt who submits invoices for pizza and Pepsi!) I don’t take any crap!

2. I’ve got good taste - but not expensive taste. (Cristal on a Pabst Blue Ribbon budget!)

3. I can be on site daily to get the job done - no taking off to go 4 wheeling in the mud, or skeet shooting for this girl! Strictly business til the job is done.

4. I’m quick on my feet - remember the stakeout with Kevin? I could have caught that thief!!

5. You can pay me with my weight in food and sweet tea.

6. I’m as cute as Ginger, but with more sass. I curse like a truck driver. My husband describes me as “fiery”. Translation = good TV!

Think it over Richard - you know how to find me!

If Richard hires you, you need to come up here and show me what you can do with my “new” personal money pit! I keep saying to my friends I need Richard and his crew to come to NH.

I’ve got all the epidodes TIVO’d now. At least I think I’ve got all of them. It’s by far the best reality show out there!
