Forever Fixing Up

Our Forever Home

We're Zach and Kiersten. Follow along with us each week as we work to make the very 2000s home we bought during the middle of a pandemic more “us.” We’ll share everything from quick fixes to more permanent changes, along with projects you can do in your own home. Zach will also share all his lawn and garden advice as he starts over on the new yard. Thanks for stopping by!
