Welcome to Owning a Home for Beginners.  I have owned my current home for over 15 years, and in that time I have renovated it pretty much top to bottom, front to back, and most of the yard as well.  I would like to share my stories and hopefully inspire other home owners to take things into their own hands, literally, and learn how to maintain and improve their houses to make them home, gain some experience and confidence for the next project, and save some money along the way.  Feel free to browse through my various projects and how-to posts, product recommendations and my personal home ownership journey.  I hope you enjoy and are inspired!
