In August 2008 Preston (and Philip) discovered a 1847(?) farmhouse; 2.5 acres within the St. Paul city limits, with a million dollar view of both Minneapolis and St. Paul downtowns. Foreclosed and run down. Now the fun begins; fixing it up. Follow this blog to see the downs and ups of DIY on a budget.

The Garage Mahal
The development of the 100 year barn into a shiny new 3 car garage with custom acid stained floor.
Thanks. We treat it like the dream home every day, so there's aways a project to do even if we haven't paid for it all yet (the nightmare part). We'd need a staff the size of Buckingham Palace to maintain it so it will always be a hobby threatening to return to chaos and that abandoned, weed-infested look.

Will you make it your dream home eventually? Or just a hobby farm? Great job!!! :) Peter
