WELCOME!

Home improvement comes hand in hand with the American and world wide dream of owning your own home. Depending on your budget, skill level, time available and help there is something that you can do to improve the dream you have obtained. A homes value in terms of dollars and cents is all relative. Bottom line, your house if only worth what someone will offer, when it comes time to sell. If you are a "flipper" this home improvement blog will have a totally different meaning for you as opposed to the first time home buyer who has scraped and borrowed to make their dream come true. There are home improvements that make even the most humble of homes appear to be worth more than their neighbor's simply because of the care you provide. Drive down any street in your community and you can see what I mean. The proof is everywhere you look. Who doesn't cringe when they see a car up on jack stands, an oil stained driveway and an uncut lawn in their neighbor's yard. What is most important is the quality of your life while you are in your home and adding creature comforts or aesthetic improvements is what home ownership is all about and in the process we just might walk away from this dream to an even bigger dream because of the efforts we have put into making our dream come true. Let's just hope the neighbor has cleaned up his/her act before you decide to sell! But this is not a social commentary, I hope to provide you with the motivation, knowledge, and resources to accomplish the home improvements you wish to perform. After all isn't that how you stumbled on to this site? Home improvement projects can be financially rewarding, provide family fun, strengthen and sometimes weaken relationships but most importantly they reflect who we are. So, if you have made the decision to test your home improvement skills or develop some, consider this site as your helping hand; the shoulder to cry on (believe me there will be moments when you will ask yourself , "Why did I do this?"), and that pat on the back for a job well done!
