Diary of a ranch house renovation

For those of you who have started or are thinking of undertaking a major renovation of your home, I’ve just started a terrific new series of posts over at Houzz on just this topic.  Here’s the introductory paragraph from the series:

Follow the progress of Mike and Leann Rowe of Lutz, Florida, as they purchase, renovate and move into a 1970s-era ranch house in St. Pete Beach, Florida. Here and over the next few months, I'll show how they:

• Found the right house
• Assembled a project team
• Established a budget
• Decided what to keep and what to jettison
• Handled surprises and managed the chaos of construction from start to finish

For this first installment, see why Mike and Leann chose the house they did and how they assembled the team. You'll also get a sense of how they budgeted the project and how that will inform their decisions moving forward.

Hope you enjoy the series and find it helpful as you too pursue a similar project.  To read more, just click here.
