The Promise:
Helping you build your dream, without losing your mind, money, or marriage!
This is no empty tag line. Not only are these very real concerns when it comes time to remodel the house, but I really intend to help you with them! Read on to find out how.
Remodeling Can Make You Crazy!
The emotional dangers that lurk all around any home remodeling project are often quite a surprise to folks! Get involved in a project of any size and we’re talking a Stressnorati ranking in the top 10!
The sources of this strain are far reaching and sometimes unexpected. The plumber that your friend Jayne said was great shows up a little tipsy. The building inspector shows up and says “you DO have a permit for this work, right?” Or worse…the roof leaks, the pipes break…you get the idea. It can be a nightmare.
In the fight for “Most Common Cause of Mental Disaster in Remodeling”, the clear winner is simple, money.
Remodeling Can Make You Broke!
Financial cost can really place homeowners under strain. This can be concerns over “can we afford this?”, or “is this a fair price?…are we paying too much?”, or the worst one “this is costing three times the budget!”. No matter how it comes, concerns over losing money face every homeowner looking to remodel.
This applies to everyone no matter where you stand. So far, I’ve not worked for anyone with so much money that they didn’t care. Most people with so called “deep pockets” got that way by watching their pennies. Sometimes it can be hardest for them (from an emotional perspective).
So, you know what happens when you have the following:
- Drunk Plumber
- Leaky Roof
- Over budget…
- And no place clean to even sit down and cry about it!!!
Remodeling Can Make you Single!
All of this can add-up to some serious marital discord! Couples often get upset because they have very different perspectives on the issues. This can cause the solution to a problem in one spouse’s eyes to be a major aggravation to the problem in the other’s.
There Is Hope!
This is where I get to the promise: Helping you build your dream without losing your mind, your money, or your marriage!
How? By showing you the right order, the right methods, and the right questions to ask so that you don’t get blindsided.
Is it worth it to go through all of that above just so you can have a new kitchen? (I know some of you are wondering….hmmm?) No, it’s not, because that’s not the only way to get a new kitchen. If you do it right many of these troubles can be avoided.
Note I say “many”, not all. No empty promises here…it’s not a walk in the park, but it can be fun.
Follow the Plan!
These keywords aren’t just meant to be some inspiring little catch words! There is a plan here. These are the steps to getting this done the right way.
Dream
You need a vision.
Design
You need a plan.
Build
You need to get it done!
Live
After you’ve done all of the above, and done it right, you’ll have the reward of living, family and finances intact, in the home of your dreams. Happily ever after!
Obviously this is going to involve a whole lot of information. If you want it live, the only way I know to get it is to sign up for our free subscription, either by email or in an RSS reader. The place to do that is right over in the far right sidebar, up near the top of the page.
