Voyage of a Big, Small, Green, Reno

So - starting a new set of blog posts....all about our new adventure - the purchase and renovation of a property here in Vancouver. Basically it is a mission to buy an older (1936) detatched home in Vancouver (yes, at the crackshack-or-mansion prices) and give it a second, green life. I'm going to use this blog to chronicle the whole journey - the good, the bad, and the ugly. My next post will be the background of the past few months - a bit of a prologue to bring you up to speed on where we've been and where we're going. We close and take possession next week (September 15th, 2011), so that's when the journey really begins. In the interim - here's a shot of the place to whet your appetite.

I know it doesn't look like much now...but hopefully we'll have something a fair bit different in the end *fingers crossed*.

Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines...here we go!
