ADEQUATE INSULATIONFor a home to be healthy and comfortable, it hasto be airtight, well insulated, and well ventilated.If the walls and floors are cold, if the heat is notevenly distributed, if heating costs are exorbi-tant, or if there is mold on the walls then thehome is not properly insulated.

SUPPLEMENTARY HEATINGSome homes are equipped with a secondarysource of heating to fight off the rigours of winter.A wood, gas, or oil burning appliance can give abig boost in making your home more comfortable.Choosing the right location for this appliance isextremely important — if possible it should be

Like it or not, for most of us the cold weather arrives good and solid by the first day of winter, on Decem-ber 21. So you’d better get to work if you want to make your home warm and cozy before the winter season!

ADEQUATE INSULATIONFor a home to be healthy and comfortable, it has to be airtight, well insulated, and well ventilated. If the walls and floors are cold, if the heat is not evenly distributed, if heating costs are exorbitant, or if there is mold on the walls then the home is not properly insulated. Consult a specialist in order to choose the right kind of insulation and consider hiring him or her to install the materials. For insu-lation to be efficient it should not be packed down and there should be no gaps around it.

SUPPLEMENTARY HEATINGSome homes are equipped with a secondary source of heating to fight off the rigours of winter. A wood, gas, or oil burning appliance can give a big boost in making your home more comfortable. Choosing the right location for this appliance is extremely important — if possible it should be lo-cated in the basement, in the middle of the home, or close to a staircase. That way, the heat will be distributed more evenly. Be sure to purchase an ap-pliance with controlled combustion or one that is EPA-certified by the U.S. Environmental Protec-tion Agency.

A HEATED FLOORHeated floors are really ap-preciated in bathrooms, but they are also increasingly common elsewhere in the house. An electric heated floor can be installed under ceramic and stone tiles or floating floors. A c c o r d i n g to some e x p e r t s , hardwood f l o o r i n g should be avoided, as it can warp with the heat. Heated floor-ing is installed on a plywood underlay or in an insulatedc o n c r e t e slab.

You might love your home and your neigh-bourhood, but perhaps a few things about yourhouse bother you, such as your kitchen cabi-nets, which depress you, and your windows,which are definitely old-fashioned. In short,you want to make some changes but you don’twant to move. The solution? Renovate!

Of course, renovating is definitely not a walkin the park, but if you’re well organized andmake the right choices the work shouldn’tcause you any headaches.

DO IT YOURSELF OR HIREA CONTRACTOR?If you love working around the house and arereasonably skilled you could do the workyourself. You’ll certainly save a lot of moneythis way. On the other hand, if you give thiswork to a contractor, you’ll save a lot of time.The renovations will progress more quickly,as the contractor can work full-time and is areal expert in this domain. As for you, you’llbe able to continue with your usual activities.

CHOOSING A CONTRACTORFor your project to run smoothly it is vital to

choose a qualified, well-established contrac-tor. Ensure that the contractor has a permit andcivil liability insurance by doing some researchat your local consumer protection website.

THINK LONG-TERMLastly, be sure to make the most profitableinvestments. Money invested in renovationsshould increase the value of your home. Forexample, renovating a bathroom or kitchen,installing new windows, or putting on a newroof are all wise choices that pay off at thetime of resale.

Building your own house means having freereign to create a customized home that isadapted to your life style, your needs, andyour personal tastes. It is also a long termproject, whose results depend on thoroughplanning and a lot of organization skills.

Because of this, building a new house is onlyrecommended for buyers who already haveexperience in owning their own home. Whyis that? Because home ownership is the bestway to define your real needs. With all theenergy, time, and money that you’ll put intothis project it would be frustrating to realizethat you would have preferred an open planconcept after you’ve moved in.

And don’t forget all the many options you’llbe faced with when the time comes to choosematerials and styles of flooring, siding, win-dows and doors, handles, worktops, and mol-dings. Sometimes having too much choicemakes things even more difficult, and it iseasy to get lost in the sea of possibilities.

Here are a few points to take into conside-ration before doing anything else. Be sure

to think about budget, site, move-in date,possibility of living in the home even ifthere is still work to be done, type of exte-rior architecture, interior layout, and spe-cific needs. After this you can think about anarchitect, building contractor, and construc-tion permits.

If you’re not quite ready to embark on thegreat adventure of building your own cus-tomized home, why not opt for a modularhome? All you have to do is choose the mo-del you like and then work with the on-siteteam in making the necessary changes to theinitial plan. Your dream home will be onestep closer!

Have fun!

You might love your home and your neighbourhood, but perhaps a few things about your house bother you, such as your kitchen cabinets, which depress you, and your windows, which are definitely old-fashioned. In short, you want to make some changes but you don’t want to move. The solution? Renovate!

Of course, renovating is definitely not a walk in the park, but if you’re well or-ganized and make the right choices the work shouldn’t cause you any headaches.

DO IT YOURSELF OR HIREA CONTRACTOR?If you love working around the house and are reasonably skilled you could do the work yourself. You’ll certainly save a lot of money this way. On the other hand, if you give this work to a contractor, you’ll save a lot of time. The renovations will progress more quickly, as the contractor can work full-time and is a real expert in this domain. As for you, you’ll be able to continue with your usual activities.

CHOOSING A CONTRACTORFor your project to run smoothly it is vi-

tal to choose a qualified, well-established contractor. Ensure that the contractor has a permit and civil liability insurance by doing some research at your local con-sumer protection website.

THINK LONG-TERMLastly, be sure to make the most prof-itable investments. Money invested in renovations should increase the value of your home. For example, renovating a bathroom or kitchen, installing new windows, or putting on a new roof are all wise choices that pay off at the time of resale.

Building your own house means having free reign to create a customized home that is adapted to your life style, your needs, and your personal tastes. It is also a long term project, whose results depend on thorough planning and a lot of orga-nization skills.

Because of this, building a new house is only recommended for buyers who al-ready have experience in owning their own home. Why is that? Because home ownership is the best way to define your real needs. With all the energy, time, and money that you’ll put into this project it would be frustrating to realize that you would have preferred an open plan con-cept after you’ve moved in.

And don’t forget all the many options you’ll be faced with when the time comes to choose materials and styles of floor-ing, siding, windows and doors, handles, worktops, and moldings. Sometimes hav-ing too much choice makes things even more difficult, and it is easy to get lost in the sea of possibilities.

Here are a few points to take into con-

s i d e r at i o n before do-ing any-thing else. Be sure to think about budget, site, m o v e - i n date, pos-sibility of living in the home even if there is still work to be done, type of exterior architecture, inte-rior layout, and specific needs. After this you can think about an architect, build-ing contractor, and construction permits.

If you’re not quite ready to embark on the great adventure of building your own customized home, why not opt for a mod-ular home? All you have to do is choose the model you like and then work with the on-site team in making the necessary changes to the initial plan. Your dream home will be one step closer!

Have fun!
