Home Improvement

All of our home improvement DIY upgrades. By doing it ourselves, we cut costs, took out no loans and invested a little at a time towards small improvements that would increase the value of our home. This includes anything from installing Pergo, custom molding and wainscoting, two story feature walls, installing flooring, and painting our cabinetry.
