About me

I’ve lived in San Carlos since 2010 and been a homeowner since 2016. Our family consists of me, the Husband, Daughter #1 (17), and Daughter #2 (14). We also have a dog named Juniper (small) and a cat named Bertie (extra large).

This site exists for two main purposes: one, so I can document the process of remodeling my home for myself and two, so I can hopefully provide some insight into the process for others looking to do the same.

I also love to talk about budgets. I’m really passionate about how scarce resources are managed, and about the tradeoffs we all make inside our own frameworks.

A note for the out-of-towners: the numbers I throw around here are probably gonna sound kind of bananas. That’s because they are. It’s California.
