Well winter has arrived! In New Hampshire we have already
had two snowstorms, including one on Thanksgiving day. Reduced to mainly
in-the-home endeavors I have begun interior painting projects and re-organizing
the basement.
A couple of years ago I completed my basement and thought I
would provide some helpful tips and ideas to homeowners looking to finish their
basements on their own. Please see my article below on framing walls in the
basement.
We have also added some new articles to the
HomeAdditionPlus.com website on choosing and deciding on Home Alarm
Systems, as well as articles on Installing Windows and Pergo Floors. In addition
we have added a number of new articles on Kitchen and Bath ideas.
As always, if you have any specific Home Improvement
questions or would like to see articles on certain subjects send me an email at
contact@homeadditionplus.com.
Have a Happy Holiday Season and we look forward to hearing
from you in 2006.
