Top Ten Remodeling Tips
Author: Mary Rosendale

My husband and I just completed our first remodel. It was a period renovation of a Victorian Gingerbread Craftsman. (I'm so thrilled I can talk about it in the past tense). We haunted architectural salvage houses for just the right windows, bid on eBay for period-correct light fixtures, spent an entire afternoon driving all over L.A. for a screw that they stopped making in the thirties and generally worked to the point of insanity. Tiptoed up to the line but never crossed it.So here, ripped from the headlines so to speak, are my Top Ten Tips for Remodeling. Read 'em and weep.

1. There is a solution to every situation. But it's not necessarily yours. You go where the solution is - it doesn't come to you.

2. There is no medicine for whatever ails you quite like hard, exhausting, purposeful work.

3. Chew your own food. Don't make your problems other peoples. They've got their own.

4. I'm not psychic. Maybe you are. Guesstimates of time and money are just that. Reality has a way of intruding. When in doubt - go with Reality. (I don't know when I'm going to die either).

5. Pain fades with time. Remodeling is like giving birth. When you're in the middle of delivery you swear you'll never do it again. But then the kid turns out to be a looker, a few years go by.....Yadda yadda yadda - you're in escrow.

6. There are no problems - only opportunities for creativity, action and collaboration.

7. You're born alone, you die alone - you don't have to win alone. Everyone can win. Some win more than others but there's enough in the pot to spread around. If you squeeze a vendor to bid a job so low that they can't make money, harbor resentment and cut corners - you both lose.

8. Nobody owes you anything. If they help you it's because they're generous people. Acknowledge them.

9. Everything comes to an end. And then it starts up again.

10. Remodeling really is like Improv. You show up without a script. You have no idea what's going to happen next (except you can be sure that whatever you think it'll be - you're wrong). You're dependent on others for their performances. So help them shine. You make it work by paying attention to everything and dealing with whatever Reality presents to you. Do the best you can with the resources you have and don't forget to enjoy the ride.

11. Okay, I lied. There are more than Ten Tips to Remodeling. There are actually thousands. This last one, though, is the most important. Don't forget to put yourself on your own Punch List. No pressure of work or money is reason enough not to eat right,sleep enough, monitor your health and appreciate your family.

The Ultimate Comfort - Top 5 Reasons For Getting an Awning
Author: Dion Semeniuk
THE ULTIMATE COMFORT - TOP FIVE REASONS FOR GETTING AN AWNING

Awnings are an economical and efficient way to shade a deck or
patio from the hot glaring sun or cold winds and rain. The
great thing about choosing an awning is that you could go with a
design whereby the awning is out all the time or if you prefer a
retractable awning that can be pulled back when you want to
enjoy sunlight and open air. As you will discover in this
article, there are many reasons why you should buy an awning.
To get you started, we will provide you with the top five!

Design and Adaptability

One of the greatest benefits of both the standard and
retractable awning is that they can enhance the design of any
architectural building. In other words, when choosing an awning
for your home, no matter what the structure design, the awning
will add curb appeal. Because of this, you enjoy the
functionality as well as the adaptability of the awning.

Standard awnings have been used for centuries for their beauty
and functionality, offering endless possibilities for enhancing
any structure and décor. However, in recent years, the
retractable awning was developed only further adding shape,
dimension, and color, thus producing style and character that
can actually increase the value of a home.

Massive Selection

Another benefit of the awning is that with such a wide selection
of shapes, sizes, and colors, they can be used in the front or
the rear of the home. With this, you can emphasize a unique
architectural feature or improve the overall appearance of the
home simply by choosing an innovative design.

For instance, if the front of your home lacks drama, you can
make an impact simply by adding a standard or retractable
awning. On the other hand, if your home is already
architecturally sound, then you could use retractable awning or
a subtle color to soften the entrance. Because of such a great
selection, you can dramatically change the appearance of your
home, both front and back.

Energy Efficient

If you have a home that receives the hot afternoon sun, or
perhaps is not protected from harsh winter elements, then you
are paying too much on your energy bill. Using an awning is an
excellent way to maintain inside temperature. When you consider
that 20% of the work performed by an air conditioning unit is
due to solar radiation through windows, you can see how an
awning would benefit. In fact, studies have been performed on
both standard and retractable awnings showing that as much as
77% of heat gain within the home can be reduced by using an
awning.

Extended Living Space

By adding an awning over a deck, patio, pool area, carport, or
grilling area, you can actually extend your living space. For
instance, if you love to have family and friends over on the
weekend for barbecues but because of the hot sun, the party ends
up in the house, crowded and uncomfortable, then an awning
provides additional space where people can mingle and eat
without feeling the intensity of the sun.

Wood and Siding Protection

When a home’s exterior, whether wood or vinyl siding, is
constantly exposed to the sun, it will begin to fade and wear.
Again, if you have an area on the front or backside of your home
that is in direct sunlight, an awning would protect the home
from damage. In this case, a retractable awning would be an
excellent choice, using it during the heat of the day and
closing it up in the cooler hours.

Just as an awning will protect the exterior of your home from
the sun, it is also beneficial against hail, wind, snow, and
rain. Then, if you have outside furniture that is also exposed,
it too would be protected.
