Do-It-Yourself Basement Remodeling
"Besides getting a copy of my Basement Ideas book or CD, the following links are my recommendations for sites on remodeling how-to's for basements as well as any do-it-yourself home remodeling project."
—Dave Schrock
www.startremodeling.com
This site is a must see for all remodelers, do-it-yourselfers, anyone looking for more remodeling information in general. I know the site owner personally. Jimmy has devoted much of his web site to educating us abou t the new found concerns of various molds that may be growing in our homes. The reading is very informative and eye opening as he speaks from personal experience. I thought this was particularly pertinent for basement remodeling as many homeowners are working with damp basements. If you have this problem, or suspect you might, StartRemodeling.com can set you on the path to a cleaner, healthier home.
