Remodeling on the Money is a how-to book. How-to doesn’t mean that once you are finished reading, you should run out to the home center, buy a reciprocating saw, and cut a hole in the side of your house for an addition. How-to, in this instance, means how certain remodeling projects should be done, what kinds of problems you’ll likely face, and how you should approach them. This will mean, in most cases, hiring a qualified professional to do the job, selecting materials suitable for the work, and then writing a check.
What makes this book unusual is that once you buy it, it becomes your key to an evolving Internet portal that will provide you with all the information you will need to remodel on the money. The work and materials described in every chapter of this book will be demonstrated and illustrated on the website—in photographs, in videos that can be downloaded on an MP3 player and taken onsite, and in podcasts with professionals describing the work in detail. You will also find links to manufacturers and service providers where you can pick the right appliance, window, or door for your job, and where you can monitor continually changing prices of both materials and labor for your particular area.
