I spent over 6 months looking for a house to buy. Entry level housing in my area is a hot market despite the recession. I was looking to get as much as I could with my money, no matter whether it was a run down dump or not. I made offers on a number of properties and finally one got accepted. Escrow closed in a record time of 20 days and suddenly I was landed with a house. The house was built in 1959 and pretty much everything about it is original and mostly broken.
The home inspection reported asbestos tiling, termites, foundation problems, possible leaking roof, leaking plumbing and old and broken windows. Not having much money I intend to fix this house up myself and having never been a homeowner before I have only a basic knowledge of home maintenance, so I intend for this blog to document what I learn as I go in order that it may help other soles in a similar situation or possibly motivate those who feel daunted by taking on home DIY projects. I hope to document how I turn this "house" into a beautiful home :)
