Bathroom Remodeling For Every Occasion 

Monday March 26,2010

If you want to update your house, and increase what it is worth, then it is easy to do a bathroom remodel. There are various ways you can approach this project and make your bathroom look more modern. You can repaint, pick out new decorations and bathroom fixtures. It is your choice if you want to just do a few things to improve the way your bathroom looks or you want go all out and do a complete makeover, a home improvement will usually still increase the value of your house.
The earliest thing you should take into your consideration is budgeting. Do not forget to include secondary costs, otherwise all those small expenses can add together fast and blow your budget. Consider the right timing as to when you really need to hire a plumber, get permissions from your city or county authorities, or hire a second hand to assist you in the process. All these hidden costs can suddenly put a lot of pressure on you and you create problems for you if you ignore them in the first place.
After you’ve created your budget and decided how big a change you’re going to make, it’s time to choose a theme. While updating your bathroom is always good, choosing a theme that doesn’t flow well with the rest of your house will take away from the added value of your home. You’ll want to choose colors and styles that compliment your home, especially the rooms surrounding the bathroom.
Picking a color scheme for a bathroom may be one of the toughest choices you must make in your endeavor. There are two perspectives on the matter: those who believe you should remain neutral, and those who think you ought to go with very personalized color schemes. The ideal way to make the best decision for yourself is to think about the purpose of the remodel.
Bathroom remodeling if you’re planning on selling is tricky; you might want to remain neutral. Keep colors light and pick tones that will complement many decors. Select fixtures to appeal to the majority of those who will look at the house. Accessorize to make the bathroom feel luxurious and plush so as to appeal to potential buyers.
You can customize your bathroom to fit exactly what you want and need if you are not interested in selling your home and your bathroom remodeling is done for yourself. You can select fixtures that specifically fit your style as well as many bold colors that represent yourself.
Bathroom remodeling can be a cost-effective way to add value to your home and make your home feel more customized to your particular style. Whether you do a complete bathroom overhaul or choose subtle changes, this particular home improvement is almost always an added asset to your home.

Typically the easiest and most cost-effective way to add value to your house is bathroom remodeling. If you are doing this to sell your property, you might want to remain neutral.

Man can you believe this beautiful weather here in Maryland for March? St. Patrick's Day is this weekend coming up Saturday March 17. Here are some good tips, interesting facts and good eats. Enjoy!

Daylight Savings 2012: Start Date, History and Fun Facts

Welcome spring weather with the start of Daylight Saving Time.
At 2 a.m. on, Sunday, March 11, 2012, most U.S. residents will set their clocks ahead one hour for the beginning of Daylight Saving Time.
However, not all states will observe the time change. Residents of Arizona, Hawaii and U.S. territories Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands will remain on their normal schedules.
About 75 countries and territories have at least one location that observes Daylight Saving Time, according to Time and Date.com. Conversely, 164 don't observe the time change at all.
Daylight Saving Time gives way to longer days, but some won't be too delighted to lose an hour of sleep. In fact, some scientists suggest that 'spring-forward" time change disrupts sleep and could pose health risks, such as heart attacks.
Brief History:
Benjamin Franklin has been credited with the idea of Daylight Saving Time, but Britain and Germany began using the concept in World War I to conserve energy, the Washington Post observes. The U.S. used Daylight Saving Time for a brief time during the war, but it didn't become widely accepted in the States until after the Second World War
In 1966, the Uniform Time Act outlined that clocks should be set forward on the last Sunday in April and set back the last Sunday in October.
That law was amended in 1986 to start daylight saving time on the first Sunday in April, though the new system wasn't implemented until 1987. The end date was not changed, however, and remained the last Sunday in October until 2006
Today, Daylight Saving Time begins on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November. The time change will precede the first day of spring and the vernal equinox, which is set to take place at 1:14 a.m. EDT on Tuesday, March 20.

Not a fan of Daylight Saving Time? Don't worry: You can resume your normal schedule on November 4^th.

Starting in 2007, daylight time begins in the United States on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November. On the second Sunday in March, clocks are set ahead one hour at 2:00 a.m. local standard time, which becomes 3:00 a.m. local daylight time. On the first Sunday in November, clocks are set back one hour at 2:00 a.m. local daylight time, which becomes 1:00 a.m. local standard time.

Not all places in the U.S. observe daylight time. In particular, Hawaii and most of Arizona do not use it. Indiana adopted its use beginning in 2006.

Today we received a nice note from one of our repete customers, here is what she had to say:

Troy,
Thanks for everything. The doors are very nice, and a huge improvement. I am so appreciative of your kindness and support. As always, Francisco's work is , in a word, outstanding. Francisco is still the very courteous, thoughtful and most competent professional. I have not yet figured out how he can do such amazing work and still bo so unobtrusive. I have never seen anyone else who can do that so well. Thank you again.
Wilma B. Potomac, MD.
