I was about to buy my first house. I flew in to Madison, Wisconsin for the home inspection and booked a hotel. By coincidence, the seller’s daughter and her husband, also from out of town, were staying there, too.
We made tired conversation over the scrambled eggs and Belgian waffles. “Enjoy the house,” she said, “just enjoy it.”
This blog is about enjoying the house — and all the hard work that goes with it! It’s about the things I’ve had to figure out as a first-time homeowner, the ways that my efforts have gone wrong, and the tools and techniques that I’ve discovered.
My home improvements usually won’t measure up to what you see on Queer Eye or HGTV — I’m just finding practical solutions to everyday problems, preferably without spending a lot of time or money.
