Kerf weatherstripping
Plastic film on windows and its effectiveness.
Remodeling advice:
Get ready for the chaos. The better you’re prepared the less stress you’ll have. What do you do without a bathroom for 6 weeks while yours is out of commission? Can you set up a mini kitchen while have yours renovated?
There is an emotional roller coaster during remodels that has been charted.
Tips and tricks:
Get yourself a magnetic bit extension for your drill/impact driver which acts as a second hand.
Laser measuring tapes – incredibly convenient and amazingly accurate.
