Ace adulterer Jesse James is keeping his hopes alive, and is taking the critical steps in possibly salvaging a decaying marriage.

According to a source who confirmed to People.com on Thursday, the ex Monster Garage host is putting the California home he shared with estanged actress wife, Sandra Bullock up for sale.

Plus, womanizing wonder Jamesy's already made an offer on a house in Austin, Texas. A close friend claims that Jamesy's decision to move is motivated by his desire to be closer to the 'Blind Side' actress, who recently filed for divorce last month due to countless cheating allegations, in which her hubby's damsels have sprung out like popcorn. Pop! Pop! (love that sound)

The friend tells People that, "His mindset is the same as just after the split, and Jesse feels that as time goes by, his and Sandra's relationship has still not reached the final chapter. He's not giving up hope that Sandra will come back to her family."

Meanwhile, James is scheduled to make a special guest appearance on ABC's 'Nightline' on Tuesday night to show light on his alleged infidelity, as well as his rehab stint in battling his personal demons.

Jamesy, you're diploma's ready. You've graduated from the university of screw-ups and it's time to get your act straight, pal.
