john asked:
I am looking for a specific book or perhaps a website that is VERY thorough and accurate at home improvement projects. I am thinking that when I buy my first home, I am going to be doing many things to the home.

newly preg asked:
I’m considering upgrading our formica countertops to granite and installing vinyl fencing to enclose our backyard. Would this count as a home improvement and would I be able to deduct this on next year’s taxes or only when I sell the home?

Jess asked: I think these tiles are aluminum (they look like brushed stainless steel). They are about 4″x4″, picked up from a home improvement store. A few tiles need to be cut in half to fit into the wall space above the stovetop, but so far none of the tactics my cousin has used has cut them successfully. The man who lived in the house before had successfully tiled a section using these exact tiles, some of which he did cut in half (although the tile cuts are not straight and so appear to have been done by hand).
Any ideas from some experienced tilers out there? Thanks so much!

magichanzz asked:
I want hardwood floors, so I went to the 2 popular home improvement stores in Chicago (H.D and Lws). One had a very limited selection of hardwood floors and both were outrageous when it came to price. Is there any place in Chicago that is cheaper?

ashley d asked:
Sure, I realize *everything* is negotiable, and the only way to find out is to ask. But I’m wondering if people actually do it often.
The purchase price of a home is expected to be negotiable. So is the purchase price of a car. So is the salary on a new job. Do home improvement bids from contractors fall into this category? Or even close?

BlueFish asked:
We have several dozen improvements we want to make to our home before putting it up for sale. I am trying to prioritize and budget our time and money to get them done.
We are not handy people and have no idea what we are doing but we don’t have much money either so we are doing as much as we can ourselves.
