From a neglected house to a warm and inviting home…on a shoestring budget.

I love a challenge…

The big banner photo at the top of this blog is our house today (September 2015), just two-and-a-half years after moving in (sorry for the poor lighting in this photo). It’s a big transformation from the photo below that shows how it looked just two summers ago.

 I have been posting updates on our progress here on Home at Last, and will continue to do so until…well, forever, I guess. I hope you will ride along with me on this shoestring budget transformation.

The second photo shows are lawn just two months later. See what some love, water and fertilizer can do? 

Lawn-spring 2013(I love my lawn…I really really love my lawn!)

Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful day…and don’t forget to fertilize your grass this fall (now’s the time). Come spring, you’ll be rewarded with a lush green lawn!
