So true, really helps sell a home too.

My family moved often since my father was involved in the highrise construction industry. He started as a carpenter and cabinet maker before I was born, while attending Cal Poly, and eventually became an architect.

He liked to move into fixer upper houses, and totally remodel them. The sad part was whenever one house was finished, we would generally move soon after. While I helped on many a project, I did not develop the same passion for that type of work. I also don't like moving, so I've lived in the same house since college (it's almost paid off, so we're finally starting to look at new homes).

Fortunately I have friends that are contractors, so when my wife wants something changed, I contact them and they give me a good deal.

Thanks

I actually enjoy change, so I move a lot. Maybe not anymore now that I have settled down and have kids. It was easy when I was single.

It's nice to know people, because contractors can really screw you if you don't know what you are doing.

Thanks, If you spent enough time in Home Depot as I have, you would have the same talent.
