My View of Remodeling

Plain and simple I will state my view of remodeling like this: BUILD NEW! Remodeling isn't worth anything! I know that remodeling is the only way to go sometimes... however if you decide to ever do a remodeling project, take my advice on this one: Don't throw away old parts until you're sure the new ones work. I recently took on the huge project of remodeling our kitchen cabinets. I bought new hinges and figured we could make them work. Needless to say this project has been a lot harder than it was thought out to be. I have had a hard time getting the new hinges to go on right, and the old ones that we threw away are so old that there is no place in this world that they are sold. I must say that it would have been so much easier if we had just ripped out the old cabinets and installed new! Moral of this story: When faced with a remodeling project... DON'T DO IT! MAKE NEW!
