After many years traveling for work, and living in the suburbs for kids, it’s now time for us to, well, live for us. It’s time for transformation.

We sold the house in Walnut Creek, CA, a house we loved, but it was too much to maintain, and have moved to Nevada City, CA, one of the 19 most beautiful small towns in America.

Dog House Ranch is a property just outside of town. It’s an out of date ranch house, built in the late ’70s, that sits on 4.3 acres in Gold Country.

It’s a property with a lot of potential.

This site will record the transformation from old to new again. Learn what we learn from the renovation, and from updating the landscape and garden.

It will be fun.

Join us on our adventure, our transformation.
