First Post!


I have decideded to start a blog about all the changes that will be going on with my house. When I came up with the idea a few weeks ago, I found out that DIY was doing something similar here. So much for my original thought on the idea!

So we have decided to buy a house in the Manassas, VA area. Its about 3,000 sq ft on 2.3 acres. It has 5 bedrooms, 3.5 baths. I would call it traditional Virginian country. It was originally built in 1965.

I have some plans to do some remodeling, but I am not 100% sure what I will do, how I will do it, So through out this blog I will cronical what I do, how I do it, and my lessons learned.

First thing up is a home inspection. We found a home inspector through the Northern Virginia American Society of Home Inspectors . They have their own standards of practice and code of ethics. I have checked the report I got from my last house so I can look for the smae thing this time. Not to mention I can also check out the structure and see which walls are load bearing, and what I can do to change them.

So there it is. Not the best picture, but I will update it later this week.
