<div style="border:dotted;">The following post was first published here on January 22, 2009.  I&#8217;m posting it again to keep myself on task as to what this blog is all about! I hope you enjoy. &#8211; Tim</div>
<h3><span style="color: #336699;">The Promise:</span></h3>
<p><em>Helping you build your dream, without losing your mind, money, or marriage!</em></p>
<p>This is no empty tag line. Not only are these very real concerns when it comes time to remodel the house, but I really intend to help you with them! Read on to find out how.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #336699;">Remodeling Can Make You Crazy!</span><img src="http://www.remodelingguy.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/my-head-hurts.jpg" alt="My-Head-Hurts!" width="90" height="99" align="right" /></h3>
<p>The emotional dangers that lurk all around any home remodeling project are often quite a surprise to folks! Get involved in a project of any size and we&#8217;re talking a <strong>Stressnorati ranking in the top 10!</strong></p>
<p>The sources of this strain are far reaching and sometimes unexpected. The plumber that your friend Jayne said was great shows up a little tipsy. The building inspector shows up and says <strong>&#8220;you DO have a permit for this work, right?&#8221;</strong> Or worse&#8230;the roof leaks, the pipes break&#8230;you get the idea. It can be a nightmare.</p>
<p>In the fight for &#8220;Most Common Cause of Mental Disaster in Remodeling&#8221;, the clear winner is simple, money.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #336699;">Remodeling Can Make You Broke!</span></h3>
<p align="center"><img src="http://www.remodelingguy.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/moneypit.jpg" alt="Money Pit!" width="225" height="188" /></p>
<p>Financial cost can really place homeowners under strain. This can be concerns over &#8220;can we afford this?&#8221;, or &#8220;is this a fair price?&#8230;are we paying too much?&#8221;, or the worst one <strong>&#8220;this is costing three times the budget!&#8221;</strong>. No matter how it comes, concerns over losing money face every homeowner looking to remodel.</p>
<p>This applies to everyone no matter where you stand. So far, I&#8217;ve not worked for anyone with so much money that they didn&#8217;t care. Most people with so called &#8220;deep pockets&#8221; got that way by watching their pennies. Sometimes it can be hardest for them (from an emotional perspective).</p>
<p>So, you know what happens when you have the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Drunk Plumber</li>
<li>Leaky Roof</li>
<li>Over budget&#8230;</li>
<li><em>And no place clean to even sit down and cry about it!!!</em></li>
</ul>
<h3><span style="color: #336699;">Remodeling Can Make you Single!</span></h3>
<p align="center"><img src="http://www.remodelingguy.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/itsover.jpg" alt="It's Over!" width="450" height="321" /></p>
<p>All of this can add-up to some serious marital discord! Couples often get upset because <strong>they have very different perspectives</strong> on the issues. This can cause the solution to a problem in one spouse&#8217;s eyes to be a major aggravation to the problem in the other&#8217;s.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #336699;">There Is Hope!</span></h3>
<p>This is where I get to the promise: Helping you build your dream <em>without</em> losing your mind, your money, or your marriage!</p>
<p>How? By showing you the right order, the right methods, and <strong>the right questions to ask</strong> so that you don&#8217;t get blindsided.</p>
<p>Is it worth it to go through all of that above just so you can have a new kitchen? (I know some of you are wondering&#8230;.hmmm?) No, it&#8217;s not, because that&#8217;s not the only way to get a new kitchen. If you do it right many of these troubles can be avoided.</p>
<p>Note I say &#8220;many&#8221;, not all. No empty promises here&#8230;it&#8217;s not a walk in the park, but it can be fun.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #336699;">Follow the Plan!</span></h3>
<p><img src="http://www.remodelingguy.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/dreamdesignbuildlive.jpg" alt="DreamDesignBuildLive" width="250" height="150" align="right" /></p>
<p>These keywords aren&#8217;t just meant to be some inspiring little catch words! There is a plan here. These are the steps to getting this done the right way.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #4b96c8;">Dream</span></h3>
<p><em>You need a vision.</em></p>
<h3><span style="color: #00c100;">Design</span></h3>
<p><em>You need a plan.</em></p>
<h3><span style="color: #993300;">Build</span></h3>
<p><em>You need to get it done!</em></p>
<h3><span style="color: #ffcc00;">Live</span></h3>
<p>After you&#8217;ve done all of the above, and done it right, you&#8217;ll have the reward of living, family and finances intact, in the home of your dreams. <strong>Happily ever after!</strong></p>
<p>Obviously this is going to involve <span style="text-decoration: underline;">a whole lot of information</span>.  If you want it live, the only way I know to get it is to <strong>sign up for our free subscription</strong>, either by email or in an RSS reader. The place to do that is right over in the far right sidebar, up near the top of the page.</p>
