1. Plan A Home Remodeling Project—Effectively & Easily
Let's first discuss how many go about "planning" a remodel project. (For clarity, this is NOT the way
to do it!) You and your significant-other are sitting around one day and you decide to make some
changes. "Great! Let's do it!" you say. Off to Super-Duper Home Center to buy the supplies. "Hi,
Friendly-Salesperson, we want to remodel our house! What do we need?" "No problem," says
Friendly-Salesperson, "grab three carts and I'll help you load everything you'll need." On the way
home the two of you are full of excitement and can already picture your new [whatever.] Once home,
you unload your precious cargo, placing it in the only warm dry place you have...the center of your
living room. The next morning you wake up, hammer crowbar in hand and off the two of you go.
Within an hour the two of you are fighting like a cat and a dog, the house is a wreck, the pile of new
materials is covered in debris and you realize you're in WAAY over your heads. The bad news is...the
real disaster is only beginning.
"Give me a break, Turpen" you say "I'd never do it that way." Maybe you wouldn't but I've seen many
who do it almost exactly that way.
