If you've ever hired
someone for a home improvement project, then you know that
much of the costs for most projects is labor. This has
sparked a revolution in do-it-yourself home improvements.
"Homeowners spent an
estimated $155 billion on home improvements and repairs
during the last four quarters, up 2.8% from the year before,
according to Harvard University's Joint Center for Housing
Studies. That included do-it-yourself projects that some
experts estimate would have cost consumers about six times
as much to have someone else do." (more)
Six times??? No wonder more
of us are choosing to try to fix our own problems or to
complete our own projects - we're saving thousands of
dollars!
Are you in the
do-it-yourself home improvement movement? How much money do
you think you saved? Did you run into any problems?
