Getting Started

Well, we're a little late to the whole blogging thing.

I read in one book that you ought to keep a journal of your remodel so you can keep yourself motivated and be able to look back on progress made, so here goes.

The house was built in 1924. The previous owners did a fair amount of historical research on the house and the surrounding Old Colorado City characters. There was a period of time during the depression years that the house was abandoned, but has been lived in most of the other years. During the depression years this was kind of the middle of nowhere, halfway between Old Colorado City and Manitou Springs. This area was called Arensdale, but has since been sucked up into the larger Colorado Springs.

I hope in this blog to:
  • keep motivated on the project to actually finish (yes we're getting pretty desparate)
  • hear from other remodelers
  • share some lessons learned (for anyone who cares)
  • have some fun
