| something about that kitchen or bathroom; there just | | | | determine what you do not like about your present |
| is not enough room for anything anymore. Things are | | | | home and fix it or change it totally so that you are |
| getting so cluttered, even in the bathroom there is | | | | happy and enjoy living there. A few things to |
| not enough room for any towels and the toiletries | | | | consider would be is it just the inside or outside that |
| are all piling up; it is starting to look like one of the | | | | you are not happy with, or a landscaping issue; and |
| through all drawers. What to do, and which room | | | | of course there is the decision that it is a little bit of |
| should we start on first is a big question mark. Step | | | | both and something in all of the rooms. And, that is |

| priorities are with your needs and the extremes of | | | | about your home; and now you have a place to |
| the situation; every home is different. Do you need | | | | begin. |
| to consider extending a room because it is just a little | | | | Take each room and start making notes and |
| too small or do you need to add a shelf storage | | | | diagrams of everything that you want to change; |
| cabinet to give yourself a little more space? Moving | | | | adding shelving, knocking out a wall and extending a |
| the bath tub or shower differently or combing them | | | | room, flooring and painting. Some beautiful vibrant |
| into one is a possibility, or installing a bathroom wall | | | | colors can change a room entirely. Re-varnishing |

| $100,000 to $900,000 and this is going to turn into a | | | | do the heavy duty things and do the rest yourself; |
| 30 to 40 year mortgage payment. These are some | | | | you will be surprised how much the family |
| pretty steep decisions to consider. | | | | themselves can do going to a home improvement |
