| − | It does not have to be difficult to get started in your home improvement projects. As with anything that you need to learn, going over the basics will help you to plan your project more easily.

| − | You must make an effort to drain the water out of your hot water at least twice per year. A hot water heater that is regularly maintained lasts longer and is more efficient. This project is as simple as locating the drain valve, attaching a hose, and turning the valve in the same way you would turn a spigot.

| − | Don't rush through demolition. You may want to rip out all the old stuff as quickly as possible, but this is probably not a good idea. Tearing the wires from your wall due to negligence is the last thing you want to do.

| − | You can increase your home's value by re-finishing the hardwood floors. It's not really hard to refinish floors, but it can take quite a bit of time and effort. Instructional classes may be at some local hardware shops and will have the tools you need for rent. Doing the work yourself can save lots of money.

| − | Use empty baby food jars to organize your work area. You can screw or superglue the jar lids under the wall shelf. Have small items put into these jars, including jewelry parts, nails, screws, and beads. Then, twist these jars into their lids under the shelf. You can now take advantage of wall shelf space and the jars you thought you couldn't use.

| − | Seal grout after laying tile. Properly mixed grout is quite porous. If it is not sealed, grout is infiltrated by moisture, and mildew and mold can result. It will also be harder to clean, and can suffer from permanent stains. Sealing it will keep it clean and safe.

| − | You can use tile made of granite instead of slab granite. Granite slab countertops can cost thousands of dollars. In contrast, an equal area tiled in granite won't cost more than a few hundred dollars and its appearance will be equally striking. Don't forget that you can re-invest all the money you save in making additional home improvements.

| − | Before winter, you should thoroughly inspect the foundation of your home for any cracks. If there are any, you should fill them immediately. If you seal up these entry points, you can avoid the possibility of spiders and rodents seeking warmth in your home during the cold winter months.

| − | If you are going to be doing some work on your home, you should re-insulate the pipes. Many older homes have pipe insulation that is beginning to wear out, which will cause it to fall off the pipes. Maintaining your pipes' insulation is the only way to ensure they do not freeze when the weather gets cold.

| − | If you want to redo the dining room in your home, sand and refinish the old table. You can make your old table look new after you invest the time in this project. Take your time to assure it looks its best.
