first post


This will be the ongoing exploits as we restore our house. We bought the slanty shanty in 2000 when we moved back to central Texas. It was listed as "Investment Property. Needs TLC." It wasn't our favorite house, but was reasonably priced and located on a quiet street. Two long-term tenants in the garage and euphemistically titled "guest house" would help offset the mortgage. It would be six months before we moved into the house. eight years later we are still working on it. Whenever people come through the house now we say "you have no idea what it used to look like." Hopefully this blog will be a place to show how far we've come and provide encouragement when we think about how far we have to go.
