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.

Tap Tap is this thing on?

Hello! Hello? :)
I am starting this blog to share, vent, and discuss Durham and the adventure of trying to by a home from 3000+ miles away. I currently live in Oakland, CA. I was just there a few weeks ago and fell in love with the area. I am dreaming of buying an older bungalow and making a home with my girlfriend Fran ( I like to call her Frantastic) 2 cute puppies Santo and Max and her diva kitty Zelda. I have been doing a lot of research about Durham ...the good and the not so good.
I am excited about how the Cleveland Holloway residents are taking a stand.
I hope to join and contribute to this neighborhood.

If you have any leads on houses please pass them on! I don't have a big budget but I do have big ambitions.

Peace!
