If you've ever seen programming on HGTV, DIY Network, or This Old House, then you're probably thinking "Where's MY basement?" or "Where in Texas can I find a town filled with 1700s colonial homes?" The realities are...you might be in Texas. And that's where we live. The Lone Star State.
Most homes here are older but still within the last century. We do have those few precious streets designated as "Historical Districts" with homes owned mostly by people who decide to dice up the house and call them "apartments" for local art students. But find a good 1950s-1970s home with character and we're in.
We are an average couple, with average salaries, and average know-how. We've seen the shows, read the magazines, and scoured the blogs looking for tips, ideas, and instructions on how to do just about anything. We have one set of parents nearby that are of the same "ilk". That "ilk" is the DIY fever. We live on the motto "How Hard Could It Be?" and push it to the extremes.
As we start our blogging journey, we hope you learn a lot from own tips and mistakes. So start looking around and we'll convince you that no project is too hard to tackle yourself.
We're Cameron and Erin. We live north of Dallas and we're in house #2.
Mmmmm, basements, good for retreats and blocking the door until the zombie hordes leave.
ReplyDeleteIf those zombies come in the house, they better be ready to work...hammers, protective eye wear, and their own Gatorade.
