I just bought a fixer-upper for about 1/3 the price of a 'good' house
in the same neighborhood. I plan on living in it while I fix it up and
then sell it, evaluate the pro's and con's and decide whether to repeat
the process.

Where would I find like-minded persons who are blogging their
rehab/remodel experiences? I've done a Google search and found a number
of helpful and not-so-helpful commercial and how-to sites, but not
exactly what I'm looking for.

Any suggestions ?

Although I'm not doing a historic renovation, this is the kind of
first-person narrative I'm looking for.
Thank you.
And the webring was a happy bonus.
