About

I'm a teacher and he's a nurse. We bought our first house and are trying to fix it up. It's slow, we make mistakes, have no experience, have a tight budget, we watch lots of YouTube tutorials, read lots of how-to's, our dog messes things up, and we're making it work. Follow along as we share our journey of remodeling our 1919, American Foursquare!
