With home sales on the decline, many homeowners are choosing to remodel the home they’re in now.

You might think home remodeling starts with the demolition, but for the project to be most successful the work should start weeks or even months before the first blow of the hammer.

“If they have all the decisions made, it makes it go like clockwork,” said Lonny Davis, a licensed contractor for Alonco Construction. “People may like us but they want us out of their house as quickly as possible.” (more…)

I find it very hard to process the notion that the onslaught of foreclosures in this country does not have more to do with a failure of conservative financial planning than with some insidious criminality by lenders. My wife has wanted a bigger house for years, but we have chosen not to buy one. Why? Because we couldn’t afford it.

Like most rational folk, I take issue with outright fraud. If laws were broken, send the crooks to jail. That said, I’m amazed that the country has congealed into the belief that every single borrower who signed a mortgage document has an escape hatch that somehow puts blame on their lender when they can’t pay their debts. While I am much more inclined to believe that buyers of so-called securitized debt instruments might have been defrauded by their packagers, I am at a loss to understand how so many individual homeowners signing loan documents for debt they could ultimately not afford were somehow the victims of a crime. We used to say that there was no free lunch. Now, we’re demanding a refund when we didn’t even pay for it in the first place. (more…)
