The incrediable adventure of renovating a historical home on a showstring budget.

I started this blog to document the process of moving from Oakland,CA to Durham,NC to buy a home sight unseen for under $35,000. Other than reasonable intelligence ( some may question that due to the previous sentence ),many hours of HGTV viewing, and a few "how-to" manuals I have zero home renovation skills. This has been an adventure blended with a whole lot of culture shock.

Leap of Faith

So I have submitted a proposal to Preservation Durham - We may have a house. A small house...hmmm let's call it cozy. Yes we may have a cozy house. It's gonna need some DEEP cleaning (good thing I like to clean) and some TLC. I am excited about finally becoming a home owner and excited about saving a historical home. When it's time to expand the family -I can sell it(actually Ken will sell it) to another older home lover and buy my dream 1920's Craftsman Bungalow.

Exciting times.
