Are we out of our minds? Most of our friends think so, because we are about to start a significant home remodel being our own contractor, draftsman, construction worker, electrician and handyman. Because we are not entirely crazy, we did work with a wonderful architect couple, Wendy and Jason Swift, to develop a plan. Besides making our home more livable and pretty, we have a few other goals:
- To stay sane
- To stay together
- To stay solvent
- To finish before we have to move to an old folks home
We are writing this blog to help us accomplish these things and we invite you to come along for the ride.
We live in Portland Oregon, the Do It Yourself capital of the world, in a 60-year old home that has seen its share of poorly done remodels and out-of-date redecorating.
Boy, are you two energetic!!! I can't believe you are doing it both all yourselves. All the best to you and my hat is off to you.
