Preventing Dream Home Nightmares -- How to Save Sanity, Maintain Control, & Keep Romance Alive While Remodeling
Tips on remodeling, geared towards women and couples.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 21, 2007 -- The saying goes, "If you build it, they will come", but what they don't tell you, is that when you're talking about remodeling the people who come to build it will come, drive you crazy, turn your life upside down, potentially give you an ulcer, possibly bankrupt you, and in some dire cases, lead you straight to divorce court. Creating your dream home should be an exciting time in your life, but it can also be one of the most stressful.
Remodeling is hotter than ever - in some circles it's the new plastic surgery - everybody is doing it, everybody is talking about it, and they can't get enough of it. But for many people remodeling should come with a surgeon general's warning because it can be hazardous to your financial, emotional, and physical health. On average, Americans spend more than 250 billion dollars annually on home remodeling. From grand expansions to "fixer ups", home buyers are taking a hands-on interest in their property, and a growing percentage of them are women.
