Hi, we're Emma & Alex!

DIYErs | parents | chronic project starters

We started DIYing when we bought our first house in 2019 and now we've renovated three houses because we had the audacity to start then had to figure out how to get it done.

We're here to share what we've learned and hopefully inspire you to start, too!

Would you try it?

Note: I did initially drill a hole for the sensor in the frame but actually I should’ve just bought a remote extender from Amazon (which I later did anyway). They’re like $10 and will be way better than drilling into your new frame!
