Home Projects Vacations

Homeowner? Do-it-yourselfer?
Consider trips to home improvement centers "getting out?"
You're not alone. We understand.

We're homeowners. We're do-it-yourselfers. Partially because we enjoy it and partially because we're broke. Now, when I say broke, I'm not talking pan-handling broke. I'm sure we're much like the rest of the home-owning world - just trying to keep the home nice without breaking the bank.

Are we looking for sympathy? Absolutely not.
Company? You betcha!

If it sounds like "we could hang" (isn't that what the kids are saying these days?), then by all means, take a look around! You'll probably be able to relate to our Gallery of Home Improvement Projects and Vacation Log. You can also enjoy (term used loosely) our general blather-just keep scrolling down.

Stimulus Package

I would just like to say that we Broke Homeowners have been doing our part to stimulate the economy. We have been all along, but as of late we've made a few rather large ticket purchases. There's an entire story about how the Wii that Santa brought us would only work in black and white on the TV, but the important part is we purchased a 40" LCD TV from Circuit City to get the Wii to work and support the economy. Like two weeks later, Circuit City announces they're closing their doors...

Then there's this carousel DVD player that doesn't seem to want to stay open to allow us to swap disks that we finally got fed up enough to replace. Off to, you guessed it, Circuit City to look for a new "home theater in a box." At least we got a decent deal at the going out of business sale...

Anyway, we've done our part...
