My59Ranch is a lifestyle website with general interest articles ranging from basic information about our home.
We focus on Mid-Century home improvement tips and tricks for everyday living, to include home repairs and improvement. Periodically we will venture outside the home into our yard as there are many aspects to this lifestyle (living on a lake and living in the woods) that interests us. We supply you with all the tips and tricks we find that improved our home. Like many of you we are just trying to make ends meet.
WebDesign
We are always looking at web design and thinking about how we can improve our site for the future.
Upgrades
We have upgrades going on all the time to our house. While it is not the latest tech controlling lights, we seek to upgrade our house for our needs of simple living.
Marketing
We actually don’t try to market our web site. While it is open to the internet, our goal it to document our process of ownership and then of course present a picture of the journey.
Family is everything
Joe and Melanie Salling, including our two girls looked for over 10 years to find a property we could call home. WE originally looked for a home on a piece of water. Somewhere that was buried in the middle of a forest. We were lucky enough to find this home in 2018 and snagged it up as soon as we could. Even better yet it was a mid-century modern we were all too excited to buy this property.
That is why we started this blog… to keep track of things but also to tell a story and the journey many people go through. It is a shared experience. According to realtors, investing in your home is one of the safest investment one can make. There is no guarantee but it is historically very safe and typically improvements always increase the value. However, you do need to understand what you are investing in. If your neighbors houses are $50,000 and your house is of similar value, it does not make sense to invest $30K dollars into your home.
