Reader Resolutions
Home improvers are an ambitious lot. We asked you for your New Year's resolutions, and many of you responded as TOH messageboarder dpgoalie did: "You name it, it needs it. After I tackle a few needed repairs, my resolution will be to create a comprehensive plan to restore the old place from the foundation up to the roof."
Unfortunately, we've found from our own experience that the best-laid plans often wind up like Teenykat's, who laments: "My house has been under construction for two years since I moved in. Each project has been started and not finished."
This year, get those projects done. You'll be much happier when you're living in a well-functioning, nicely upgraded home. And we'd like to help you be happier. Here is our game plan to fulfilling your top resolutions of 2009.
