Have You Ever Seen a “Teardown Neighborhood”? I gotta say… I really am NOT a fan of that trend. And I don’t see how it makes sense. I think the only way it CAN make sense is if one completely dismisses the potential of a BRILLIANT REMODEL! And why would one do something like that? […]
What I Do For Fun…
I pretty much only post about remodeling and construction here on RemodelingGuy.net, but there’s more to me than that!

Prayers For Haiti
I woke up this morning, and as I usually do, I checked the weather. lately I’ve been praying that weather.com would tell me that today would be the day it finally warmed up! But the news this morning brought tears to my eyes. The videos of the devastation in Haiti are impossible to describe. The […]
