Welcome to the archives of my urban nesting adventures

For those of you who know how strong my wonderlust can be, this surprising new phase of life has been about slowing down and smelling the flowers. I plan to document my attempt at putting some roots down, making something out of nothing, (referring both to the house as well as my self confidence as a single female home buyer), and doing it in a green and efficient way.

escrow my asscrow

Just a little indication of how I feel about the convoluted and disjointed process called escrow.

People keep asking me about this home buying process. I defintly didn't know the first thing about it until I jumped in.
If you are interested in witnessing the step by step madness of buying a (fixer) house on a shoe string budget...read on. Well, I wish I had started this blog at the very beginning of it all, but I will back track a bit to fill you in on the delightfully awkward first steps - and carry on into the present day as I deal will the daily joys of Escrow, Closing, and Contractors.

Finally my overall goal is to put on that rockin' pink tool-belt of mine and get deep into DIY guerrilla style greening systems. And if I know my people right, my friends and loves will help me along the way, from research to digging through salvage yards... Should be fun.
