TAKEN FROM “WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE YOU BUILD”


(A written but not yet published work)

 I hope that these tips will help you in the planning of your new home. Not all of these tips save money, in fact, some of them add cost but make for a better “dollar value” over the long run.

 I have set these hints and tips up in the following categories:
