Kerf weatherstripping

Plastic film on windows and its effectiveness.

Remodeling advice:

Get ready for the chaos. The better you’re prepared the less stress you’ll have. What do you do without a bathroom for 6 weeks while yours is out of commission? Can you set up a mini kitchen while have yours renovated?

There is an emotional roller coaster during remodels that has been charted.

Tips and tricks:

Get yourself a magnetic bit extension for your drill/impact driver which acts as a second hand.

Laser measuring tapes – incredibly convenient and amazingly accurate.
