In this first episode of the farmhouse renovation series, I’m kicking things off with an empty house tour so you can see exactly what I’m starting with before I tear into anything. This is the baseline—no furniture, no distractions—just the bones of the place and all the little details that are going to turn into projects. If you’re into DIY adventure builds like I am, this is the fun part where you walk through and start mentally making the plan. I’m using this episode to set the stage for what’s coming next: room-by-room changes, fixing what’s busted, and figuring out what’s worth saving versus what needs to get ripped out and redone. The big takeaway here is simple: before I spend money or start swinging a hammer, I want a clear “before” snapshot so we can track progress and make smart decisions as the renovation unfolds. This is Episode 1—empty house, big ideas, and a whole lot of work ahead.
