We did some significant demo on the new house this past weekend. But I did manage to snap a few before photos. Hopefully the afters will be taken in much better quality and by someone with way more skill than me… The house was built in the late 80’s and actually has new siding and […]

As you know from my last post, we’re buying our first ‘non-live-in’ rehab house! (Should I call it a flip house? I mean that’s what it is… but that term just has some ugly connotations. Right?) We had 2 months to plan for this moment, but somehow I still feel unprepared for what is coming

Guys, I don’t even know how to start this post. Our life has taken some major turns in the last few months. They have been super exciting, but also very nerve-wrecking at times.

As if there isn’t enough going on around here, I have had my eye out for dining room chairs. Last year for Christmas we bought ourselves this epic dining room table for $100 on Craigslist. A dining set was supposed to be our Christmas present to each other. It came with 6 awful, ugly chairs

I’m back from a bit of hiatus to catch you up on what’s been going on around here for the last month. Despite all odds, the Hoarder House is still standing… We had a bit of a hiccup in early November. Jake was doing a small remodel job for a friend and ended up cutting

If you remember in the Hoarder House Budget post, we had slotted $2,500 for a complete gut rebuild of the main floor bath. On one hand, that sounds like quite a bit of money. Sometimes I see these Pinterest pins about a complete bathroom makeover for less than $200… But then I remember that the
