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.

Enjoy Your Patio More with a Chiminea Fireplace
Author: Fireplaces-Outdoors.com
Outdoor chiminea fireplaces are for the nature lovers who want to enjoy a warm and pleasant night out right in their backyard. A chiminea fireplace is affordable, they will provide a wonderful atmosphere for you and your guests and, most of all they are easy to start, maintain and clean.

There are many kinds of chimnea fireplaces available, made out of different types of materials, yet the most durable deck for a fireplace with chimney is the one made out of copper or cast iron. They will not bend under weight and heat and they are also easy to clean.

When you buy an outdoor chiminea fireplace you also need to think of size. If you intend to put it on the patio, first take a look and estimate what kind of chimney fireplace would be most suited. You should do this before buying the piece as you do not want to crowd your patio with a huge chimnea fireplace; there should also be space left for tables, chairs and so on.

When you go out shopping for an outdoor chiminea fireplace you will be amazed by the number of very different designs. There are the classical-looking fireplaces that come with a bronze finish in order to add a plus of antique-feeling, there are the medieval-looking designs made out of cast iron and cut in simple shapes and if you have a rather modern looking patio there is also the modern type of fireplaces available for you. Look carefully and view as many designs before you make your decision.

An outdoor chiminea fireplace is your best decor item for a warm and beautifully-lit court yard. What is more, the fireplace is safe to use by anyone, it is easy to clean and it comes in a wide array of shapes and prices. All you have to do to warm up the atmosphere is go out and pick your chimnea fireplace.
