Our Beginnings...

Merritt and I just jumped into our first house flip. We started the house hunt 6 months ago in Moscow, Id and quickly realized our budget wasn't as big as our eyes. We looked at several homes and were not excited about any of them. They were all at the top of our budget, didn't fulfill half our 'must haves' and needed lots of updates. When my parents came to visit we set up a few appointments to see homes for sale. One was very exciting. It was anything but move in ready! It was in my ideal neighborhood and had great bones as the HGTV channel would say. I loved the idea of buying a fixer upper, but it required convincing the man in charge.. my husband.

Eventually he jumped on board. We closed on October 31st 2013, Halloween. For those of you that know Merritt the date was meaningful. Good omens so far...

We began right away and documenting the process is going to be part of our process. We hope to show our journey from the demolition to the last coat of paint as the realistic roller coaster that a renovation is!
