In December of 2008, we paid cash for a 100 year old home on about 1/3 of an acre in Parowan, Utah. By January 1 we had moved in. The civil war era plumbing and heating systems were not well suited to a modern winter and, as much as we like Chris, the plumber, we had not really anticipated celebrating the new year with him. In any case, this blog is the story of our attempt to turn a 19th century parcel into a 21st century home without borrowing, without whining, and—especially—without freezing.
