| Finding Good Contractors
|
|
There's always someone out to make a fast dollar. Remember reputable contractors won't make offers good just for today. If the offer sounds too good to be true, it usually isn't a good deal.

| Choose Licensed Contractors
|
|
When home repairs are needed where you can't do them yourself, select well established, licensed contractors who have submitted in writing and who have placed price bids for the work.

| Building Your Dream Home - Part 2
|
|
By Mark J. Donovan

With new house plans and permits in hand, subcontractors hired and a Septic Design in process, it was now time to raze the existing cottage. I considered employing the local fire department to burn it down, however I chose the demolition route instead. Though I did not contact the Fire Department, I was convinced that this route would have led to multiple delays and pitfalls, as I would have been at the whim of several town employees and weather conditions.

For most of my adult life I had thought about someday building my Dream Home. Several years ago I finally got the chance. I had purchased a lake front lot with a small cottage on it. My initial intention was to use the property "as is", and someday raze the old cottage and build a new home in its place.

| It's Good To Be Square!
|
|
By Ted Joffs

Recently, I had the opportunity to replace tile in a newer home
built through a "nameless" contractor. I noticed a few problems
with the construction; the walls were not square. With the
determination of a madman condemned to work in a crooked house, I
took it upon myself to see if it was just me that found a home with
crooked walls. To my amazement, 27 of the 32 homes I visited were
built out of square.
