Real-life adventures in low-budget, low-know-how home improvements.

The Back Story

With great credit, but little cash-in-hand, my husband and I celebrated our first anniversary by applying for a mortgage! Three months and many viewings later, we closed on a foreclosure property that needs quite a bit of work. With very little know-how and even less money (though we do have the $8,000 rebate to help us out!), we need to turn this beat-up house into a home.... One that we hope to sell for income later!

Join us as we learn how to build walls, dig trenches, fix holes, and home it up in our house on a tiny budget. I hope you can learn from our successes (and probably some failures, too). And I'm happy to learn from yours, if you have advice to share!
