		<title>Finish if Fluffy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Finished basements are really nice to have. Every parent has dreamed of a sound proof “play room” where the kids could be safely sequestered behind padlocked door until dinner time. A place where little Johnny and his sister Amy can rip each others hair out and the screams, shouts, and incessant crying won’t interrupt a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Assassins of Self Esteem</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Can a failure to remodel actually cause psychological damage? Can it affect unborn children or lead to early senility? Can it alter our view of the world and of ourselves? Yes, deep questions. The type of questions that lead us to ponder the very origins of the universe. Questions that lead us on a journey, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Living on Just One Bowl</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’m all for having a close relationship with my significant other. We spend a lot of time together. In fact, we’re together from morning till night. But, even thought we share almost everything, there are a few things we don’t. Toothbrushes come to mind. Underwear might be another. Oh, socks too – keep out of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Remodeling for Hamsters</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Americans spent over 43 billion dollars on their pets in 2008. I know, I thought the same thing – damn, that’s a lot of dog biscuits! I hate to admit it, but is seems like my wife and I spent about 10% of that number just on our two dogs. What you have to understand, [...]]]></description>

		<title>How Does It Feel?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If I’ve heard it once, I’ve heard it 17 ¾ times. You’ve thought about it too. “What’s the return on my remodeling investment going to be after my kitchen or basement or bath is done?” In other words, how much damn money will I get back when I sell this dump if it has a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sinking Titanic Tubs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Like most everything else in America, things just get bigger over time. Less than a half century ago, most couples were perfectly content to sleep in a full sized bed. There were no territorial issues to speak of. Over time, beds got bigger and bigger, couples grew further and further apart, until the California King [...]]]></description>

		<title>Deferred Maintenance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Did I just driveby a 1989 Cadillac convertible with a soft top? I spun around the block and looked again. Nope – it was a hard top. Hard like lumber, and shingles, and door panels. No really, did that garage actually fall onto the poor saps car? Did he manage to save his Bob Seger [...]]]></description>

		<title>Boxer Shorts and Fish Bowls</title>
		<description><![CDATA[  I was driving around the other night in a nice neighborhood. Big houses, small lots, gated community. Looked like a very nice place to live. But here’s what was very weird. No one had curtains. Or blinds. Or stained glass. Or even sheets in the windows. They were simply guppies in lighted fish bowls. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pimp it Out With Patience</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We see a whole bunch of bathrooms and kitchens in our line of work. Many are pretty nasty, over-the-hill, deferred maintenance nightmares that should have been bulldozed a decade ago. But that&#8217;s OK. We&#8217;re nightmare removal specialists that carry a big hammer. So if you fall into that category, don&#8217;t worry. I&#8217;m certain any embarrassment you [...]]]></description>

		<title>When Granite Counters are Just Plain Stupid</title>
		<description><![CDATA[How many times have you seen this &#8211; you visit your neighbors or your in-laws or your bosses house, and they proudly show off their new granite counter tops. You think, OK, at first glance they look good. But then you notice the vintage 1987, builder grade, cardboard and oak cabinets they stuck the new counters [...]]]></description>
