What's it about? It's about taking old homes, restoring them, and renovating them. In many parts of the United States, the only homes that are conveniently close to the center of town - and affordable - are older and run down. So many yuppies buy these older homes and restore and renovate them. Once they are done, the home should have the "charm" and "character" of the older home, just with fresh paint, nice floors and wallpaper, decent wiring, reliable plumbing, central heat and air, and modern appliances. It's usually, but not always, cheaper to renovate than to demolish and rebuild. And some people are very attached to older homes, so even if you wanted to demolish and rebuild, you might find local sentiment against you.
