Buying a fixer upper and putting a ton of time and money into the property to make it livable again can be quite an undertaking, but some people can't resist the appeal of putting their own stamp on a house. And this is why Terry Jordan fell in love with and bought a house in Senatobia, Mississippi on a nice piece of land that even came complete with a barn. She paid $11,500 for the foreclosed property, and planned on sprucing it up and then selling it for a profit.
Terry and her husband got to work right away and gave the home electricity, plumbing, and a new roof -- to the tune of thousands of dollars. So you can only imagine their shock and disappointment when they found out they had actually been sold the wrong house!

Congratulations to our winner,
It was with great interest that I read that the standard thermostat had been redesigned by a team that took Steve Jobs and Apple as their inspiration. It’s so genius. I mean, it seems that stores like Skymall and Hammacher Schlemmer exist only to convince us that we need things we’d never use, when in fact what we want is new twists on the ubiquitous items we use every single day.


Never let it be said that I suffer from excessive maturity or seriousness. Many, many online tools exist to help you figure out how to arrange and decorate your home for maximum beauty and pleasure. But in the hands of someone like me, these can become dangerous -- or just plain fun, depending on how big an idiot you are.
We have a great friend named Marc who is a true DIY dad. He re-did his kitchen (like plumbing and all), he's refinished bathrooms, he's built furniture. He is the friend you always want around, the one you would almost pay to have around when you are re-painting as he does a professional-level job. Seriously, we have one wall in our apartment that looks awesome, while the rest are kind of so-so -- we call it the Marc Wall.
On last night's episode of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, the world met the Brown family, who lost one of their two daughters in a car accident caused by texting and driving. Since then, the family has become extremely active in Texas, speaking about the dangers of distracted driving, and were seriously deserving of a new home and a fresh start.
