Bathroom Shower Doors - A Simple Solution For Giving Your Bathroom A Stylish New Image!By Caroline SmithShower doors are not only designed to stop water escaping from your shower stall or tub, they can also be used to add a touch of style to your bathroom. If you're looking for a more effective and long lasting alternative to your old shower curtain, installing a glass shower door could be the answer. Shower screens and doors made from tempered glass are sturdy and can stand up to years of use. At the same time, the type of glass you choose can enhance your bathroom's appearance. For example, clear glass is perfect for a light and spacious look. Frosted, molded, colored glass or etched patterns are other options to consider for a unique and attractive finish.
Frameless shower doors are really popular in contemporary bathrooms, with their sleek, modern look. The shower door hardware can be mounted straight onto the glass, for a smart and tidy finish. More traditional framed doors with frames made from various metals, including aluminum and chrome, are another common choice. Think about what style would fit in best with your bathroom's theme and character. If you've a particular look in mind for you bathroom's makeover, not to mention the budget, you might want to consider having a custom shower door made to measure.
When buying a new shower door, it's important to think about practicalities as well as just aesthetics. There's no point in installing a luxurious folding door only to find it bumps into your sink or toilet when you open it! Sliding showers doors are brilliant if space is limited, as they work by gliding along tracks above your tub. For barrier free access to your shower stall, a trackless or accordion-style door can be ideal. Once you've chosen the door that's best for your bathroom's size and layout, it should be simple to install and will instantly improve your bathroom's style and function.

Home Building - Creating A Home Theater
Home Building - Creating A Home TheaterBy Tammy Crosby-Editor, Dream DesignsCreating a home theater has become one of the hottest topics when it comes to building a new home. There’s virtually no limit when it comes to designing a home theater system, except for how much you’re willing to invest in your personal entertainment. Creating and installing a home theater is not an easy task, so if you’re planning on have an elaborate system installed you should definitely work with a home theater specialist who can help you choose and install the system that’s right for you and your new home.
When most people think about watching a movie or their favorite television show, they think of the visual image. But what really differentiates a home theater from a big screen television is the audio. This isn’t to say that the picture isn’t important, but it’s how the image and sound come together in a home theater system that creates a richer experience.
Basic Home Theater Components
The very basic components necessary to create a home theater are a 27" or larger television, a movie playing device (preferably DVD), speakers, and a surround sound capable stereo receiver. A general rule of thumb when it comes to electronics is that you get what you pay for. Since you’re starting from scratch with your new home - it’s really worth spending the extra money now, rather than wishing you had.
See our article about individual components.
Tips for setting up the system
Your main objective is to make your home theater feel as much like the real thing as possible. You can achieve this by placing your system front and center and at eye level, not off to the side. Speakers sound better when they're on stands or mounted on the wall rather than set atop bookshelves or cabinets. The three front speakers should form a line with the TV and the two rear speakers should be positioned opposite each other on either side of the listeners, slightly above ear level.

New Construction or Resale Home?
New Construction or Resale Home?By Preston GuytonNew Construction or Resale Home?
As you begin your home search in Myrtle Beach you will have to make a decision between buying a new construction home or resale. This article will take a look at the pros and cons of each, so that you can narrow down which preference will work best for you and your family.
Myrtle Beach Resale Home
Pros
Location – Older, established neighborhoods are often very popular because they are located in the heart of a thriving area of the city. In addition, most of the oceanfront and beach access properties have already been built, which means that it can be very difficult to purchase a lot or new construction home in these areas.
Established Landscaping – One of the biggest things that set older homes apart from a new neighborhood is the landscaping. It takes years for trees and plantings to grow into a beautiful and lush garden. An older home is perfect for homeowners who are looking for larger trees and mature flowerbeds and shrubs, while a new home is often a blank slate that requires years of work and patience before the landscaping is right.
Cons
More Maintenance/Repairs – When you move into a home that is ten or more years old you can expect that you will need to make many repairs and replacements over the next few years. A couple of examples are appliances that wear out and roof shingles that need replacing. Truly older homes might have an entire mechanical system that needs to be replaced, like new electrical wiring or HVAC equipment.
Not energy Efficient – Older homes will never be as energy efficient as a modern home since many of the advances made in the last several years in insulation, low-E windows, energy star appliances, and mechanical systems were not available when the home was first built. Some of these items can be added over time as things need replacing, but many would require a significant remodel to be included into the home.

Roof Options For New Home Construction
Roof Options For New Home ConstructionBy Jill PhilipsWhen designing a new home, or looking to update an existing home, one of the biggest considerations you will need to make involves the roof of the home. For many people, the roof of the home is somewhat of an afterthought until a leak springs in the roof and maintenance must be performed. The roof has a bigger job, however, than just keeping the home dry. It also is a big contributor to the overall look of the house. When building a new home, remodeling, or adding a new addition, you have many options when it comes to roofing. Let's look at the most popular roof options on today's market.
Asphalt Shingles
Most of the roofs in the U.S. are covered in asphalt shingles – which are standard "three tab" shingles that are among the least expensive options available. Asphalt shingles are available in dozens of colors that are either solid or blended with other colors for a 3-D effect. Most asphalt shingles carry a fairly good guarantee (average of around 20 years or so), which makes them a good buy for most homeowners. The principle advantage to using asphalt shingles for your roof is the great value that you get for your money, which is one reason they are so common; inversely, if you are looking for a unique look, asphalt shingles are very common so you're not going to be "going against the grain" in your home design. A bit pricier asphalt shingle is the architectural shingle, which is about twice as thick as the normal asphalt shingle and is installed in staggers that give them a layered look. Some of these shingles resemble wood or slate.
Wood Shingles
From an aesthetic point of view, a wood shingle roof is very appealing to many homeowners, and wood shingles tend to weather out to a soft silver or gray that gives the home an inviting appeal. Cedar is the most common species of wood that is used for wood shingles, which are relatively smooth in appearance and cut to be uniformly thick and in varying widths.
Houston Home Construction
Houston Home ConstructionBy Russell NealHouston is expected to grow by 3 million people over the next 5 years. Many of these people are moving into higher paying jobs and neighborhoods that afford them the best in style, luxury, and spaciousness in home living. Houston home construction companies are building more custom homes than ever before. They are also realizing that working as a general contractor on many of these homes requires subcontracting certain specialty organizations that can add specific expertise to the finished project. Illuminations Lighting Design offers the Houston Home Construction company a subcontract resource in home wiring, home controls, and home lighting that is multi-dimensional and multi-specialized across the board. Working with ILD can make both the architect’s and the general contractor’s job much easier, because there are several things we can do under their invoice that can fulfill the most robust demands of the particular and eclectic Houston homeowner.
New Home Wiring
Houston home construction companies often require the services of a company with experience in advanced home wiring techniques. Custom homes tend to boast spacious floor plans and ornate interior designs. They also tend to be furnished with very expensive audio-visual equipment and the best name brand appliances. This equipment requires dedicated circuitry to power and protect it from power fluctuations and surges. Home theater and whole house audio, for instance, are rising in popularity and require both dedicated circuits and sophisticated controls be installed—preferably at the time of new home build out. Also, many residents choose to have Lutron lighting controls and home automation networks installed in their new home as it is built. Houston construction companies can contract our new home wiring and home automation team for any and all of these and other similar projects.

Home Builders Loudoun County Va - House Remodeling
House Remodeling: Covering All The Bases Of Your HomeBy Jon CaldwellIf you are not keen on putting permanent walls, and your cabinets and shelves are not enough to serve as dividers, you may want to consider room dividers which come in different designs and material to fit your personality and your budget.
Portable room dividers come in foldable, sliding or static designs. You may choose a plain divider and put on stickers as designs. Some are designed as picture frames, where you can insert photos. Glass dividers add elegance, and mirror dividers create an illusion of space.
Your bedroom may also use a divider, especially if you have a work area. You may also use a divider for your closet area, so you can dress up not worrying whether the door is locked or not.
Garage cabinets may be movable or permanent. Frequently used items should be in a more accessible cabinet or shelf. Cleaning and gardening tools such as mops, brooms, rakes and shovels may be stored upright on walls using wall mounted hooks.
The garage door should be checked for repairs and spring replacements. Hire a professional for the repair of garage doors.
If you plan to also use the garage as a workshop, lighting, ventilation and space are important. You may want to consider installing a skylight. If space is not enough, then the garage may be used as a workshop when the car is out, so the work table or work bench may be detachable so it can be stored when the car is in.
Counter tops are usually used in the kitchen when preparing dishes – washing, cutting, mixing ingredients. Ceramic tiles on countertops make it easier to clean, and protects the rest of the cabinet or table from moisture, especially if the countertop is made of wood.
Select your desired tile design and color, and make sure the edges are in line with your countertop layout. Make an outline for the tiles to make sure it will fit in to the curves of the faucet and sink before having it cut. Then check if the cut

Why Buy a New Build Home
Why Buy a New Build Home
Author: J Strange
Every person dreams of a beautiful home and when you are planning to move to a big home or a better location there is nothing compared to buy a new build home. A big advantage of buying a new build home is that you're less likely to have to do much maintenance, especially in the early years.
Here are some reasons why people prefer buying new build homes nowadays:
When you move in everything is spotless and new. You will not have to spend hours cleaning oily stains in kitchen, pencil marks on walls, and other dirt. There will not be any damaged or scratched surfaces. You will also not have to repaint
You may get the chance to choose your own fixtures and fittings. Many developers offer this and it means you get to choose things to your taste, like the colour of walls, bathroom tiles or the type of door handles, so you don't have to decorate when you move in.
Compared to older homes, new build houses are built to thorough safety standards. Keeping Fire Exits and smoke alarms are kind of mandatory these days.
Progressive technology has resulted in homes that are stronger and more solid. Such items as roofing shingles and windows are a better quality and last longer nowadays. New build homes are built using new technology.
New homes will often come with certain Warranties like for few years; the home is covered for any drainage and structural defects. Your builder will explain how the warranty works.
You know who built it and you can always catch the builder in case any problem arises.
But Buying a new built home also require some caution to be taken at buyer's end . Show homes and shiny brochures sell the dream of the ‘perfect' home, but that show home dream can become terrible experience.

You Don't Always Need A Contractor For Diy Home Improvements
You Don't Always Need A Contractor For Diy Home Improvements
By Ken Snowie
The cost of getting repairs or home improvement done by licensed contractors are known to be high, but often necessary, mainly because most people do not have the skills or equipment necessary to make a repair in their homes or complete improvements themselves.
You don’t always need to hire an expensive contractor to do a job, though. For example, often when a power failure occurs, it is nothing more than a blown fuse. Most home fuse boxes are located in basements or garages of homes. When you experience an outage, make sure you check and distinguish between blown fuses or melting wires. If you hire an electrician to simply repair a blown fuse, it will cost you a lot of money (including labor charges) to replace the fuse, when you can do it yourself for a few dollars.
You can check a fuse by placing a working fuse in the opening where you think that the fuse is blown. Remember to remove the fuse and return it to its original place instead of leaving the fuse in the slot, so as to avoid the danger of fire.
Note:
Modern homes are equipped with breakers and when the breaker fails it will automatically shutoff the electricity. Changing a breaker is similar to changing fuses; they require little effort to replace and you usually instructions when you buy a new breaker, giving you directions on how to change it out. Follow the steps closely when doing an installation.
Light switches are another minor household issue that can be easily repaired by you. Most switches last for several years before a problem occurs, but there are times when a repair is necessary. Make sure to follow the instructions when repairing the switches, and shut off the power supply to the switch, since working with electricity can be very dangerous.
It is smart to cut off the circuit breakers when installing a new part. After you remove the switch plate cover, you will see screws that hold the

Home Improvement TV Shows: How Home Improvement Tv Shows Turned Me Into A Renovation Pro
By Jeff D. Bagley
Whenever I'm looking for inspiration for my next home project, I watch some home improvement TV shows. These days, there seems to be one on TV whenever I flip through the channels. I swear, it doesn't matter if I'm channel surfing at 3 in the afternoon or at 3 in the morning, they're always on. Most importantly, they're always educational. Recently, I got into the house flipping business, and I've taken a liking to these shows so much I set my DVR to record them. Most of the times, when I find an episode or special particularly interesting I'll watch it several times, getting something new from it with each viewing. Luckily for me, intellectual property laws don't cover home improvement ideas!
Because I started watching all of these home improvement TV shows, I got interested in flipping houses. They made it look so easy on TV, and even when people were having troubles with their contractors and ran over budget they always seemed to make money on their investment. On of the biggest advantages to regularly watching home improvement TV shows is that you get to learn from the mistakes of others without having to actually go through them yourself. As you probably know, even a minor setback can cost you thousands of dollars when it comes to flipping houses.
Home improvement TV shows have taught me which rooms are most beneficial to renovate. The major money makers aren't the living rooms and bedrooms, as I originally thought. Instead, the biggest way to increase the value of your home is to renovate your kitchen and bathrooms. If you know what you're looking for, you can really make quite a bit of money. I also learned that it's really important to develop strong and lasting business relationships with contractors and real estate agents.

Home Improvement TV Shows: How Home Improvement Tv Shows Turned Me Into A Renovation Pro
Home Improvement TV Shows: How Home Improvement Tv Shows Turned Me Into A Renovation ProBy Jeff D. BagleyWhenever I'm looking for inspiration for my next home project, I watch some home improvement TV shows. These days, there seems to be one on TV whenever I flip through the channels. I swear, it doesn't matter if I'm channel surfing at 3 in the afternoon or at 3 in the morning, they're always on. Most importantly, they're always educational. Recently, I got into the house flipping business, and I've taken a liking to these shows so much I set my DVR to record them. Most of the times, when I find an episode or special particularly interesting I'll watch it several times, getting something new from it with each viewing. Luckily for me, intellectual property laws don't cover home improvement ideas!
Because I started watching all of these home improvement TV shows, I got interested in flipping houses. They made it look so easy on TV, and even when people were having troubles with their contractors and ran over budget they always seemed to make money on their investment. On of the biggest advantages to regularly watching home improvement TV shows is that you get to learn from the mistakes of others without having to actually go through them yourself. As you probably know, even a minor setback can cost you thousands of dollars when it comes to flipping houses.
Home improvement TV shows have taught me which rooms are most beneficial to renovate. The major money makers aren't the living rooms and bedrooms, as I originally thought. Instead, the biggest way to increase the value of your home is to renovate your kitchen and bathrooms. If you know what you're looking for, you can really make quite a bit of money. I also learned that it's really important to develop strong and lasting business relationships with contractors and real estate agents.

5 Home Plan Mistakes
5 Home Plan MistakesBy Tim LapkovskiEvery person dreams of owning his own home someday. There are no limits to the types of home a person can dream of having. Of course, a person who wants to make this dream a reality should combine the act of dreaming with planning.
To plan means to take the necessary steps to make the dream of owning a house a reality. A person can start by working hard and plotting his career or business moves so that he can save up for his dream home. Once he has saved enough money, he can commission an architect or a designer to plan his home.
Having someone create a plan for the ideal home would be one step nearer to that dream of owning a home someday. A person who is creative enough can even create a plan for his own home so that he is personally responsible for the design of his home.
A home plan is necessary even if a person still has to save up for the construction of his home. It would be ideal if he already has a lot where he plans to build his home because the commissioned architect or designer can already create an exact plan for his home. With a concrete home plan, he can introduce piecemeal improvements leading to the actual home design.
It is also important to have a home plan created in advance so that the owner can estimate the expenses that would be required in constructing the dream home. He can buy materials like cement ahead of time when prices are low. The improvements can also be made on an installment basis without destroying the entire look or home plan.
A home owner who is planning to commission or design a home plan should be wary of at least five home plan mistakes that can be committed knowingly or unknowingly and that can destroy the entire home plan. These mistakes can be costly because they can partially or totally put to waste all the improvements made on the home.
Being aware of the five common home plan mistakes can serve as a warning to anyone planning to create a home plan. He should review these

Custom Home Builder Allen Texas, Home Builder Allen Texas
Custom Home Builder Allen Texas, Home Builder Allen TexasBy Jason FranceWant the honest, unvarnished truth? Not all Custom Home Builder Allen Texas are created equal. The horror stories you may have heard about dishonest or incompetent builders are, sadly, based on reality. That's because anybody can print up business cards and call themselves Custom Home Builder Allen Texas. Which is why it's up to you, the smart consumer, to do your homework. Because you're not just buying a Custom Home Builder Allen Texas you're buying the manufacturer of that home. And because a home is such a major investment-quite possibly the largest you'll ever make in your lifetime-it just makes good sense to protect yourself by doing as much research as possible.
That being said, here's a checklist that will help you find the builder that can make your dream home come true:
• Find out the difference between the four different kinds of new homes: Custom Home Builder Allen Texas; semi-custom homes; production/tract homes; and spec homes. Most builders focus on one type. Don't expect all builders to build all types. Figure out which kind of home you want and can afford, then go looking for the builders who specialize in this.
• Ask real estate agents you know about the reputations of various area builders. Compare their answers. If the same builders' names keep getting good reviews, then put those builders on your "take a look" list. Remember, home building is a tough, demanding profession; any builder who has not only survived but also thrived for a long period of time is likely to be a better bet.
• Ask anybody else you know who might know about builders' reputations. People in trades like plumbing, heating and air conditioning, roofing, etc., could give you invaluable insights into who's who in the local industry.
• Drive around neighborhoods and/or developments and subdivisions that you like and that are in your price range. If you have the opportunity, talk to homeowners

A Florida New Home Builder For Luxurious Living
A Florida New Home Builder For Luxurious LivingBy IPRWire Staff WriterAs the real estate options in the south have changed, so has the style of life in this retirement area of the country. Although many people who live in the southwestern coastal regions are not actually retired, the changes in lifestyle are affecting everyone who lives in the area. Each Florida new home builder is adapting to the newer, more luxurious styles of homes that are popping up across different counties in the state. As styles and designs get more complex, roomier, and more architecturally elegant, the prices are going steadily upward.
From the outside, it is clear which houses are the newest by the number of cars that will fit in the garage. Most Floridian models boast 2-car garages attached to the house itself. However, the houses built in the last few years are, more and more often, boasting 3-car garages. While it has not yet happened that people with 2-car garages are building an addition in order to make a 3-car garage, it is surprising to many contractors just how often new building projects show 3-car garages as standard.
The 3-car garage is just one way in which Floridian living is getting more and more luxurious. Of course, many houses have had pools in the past, but in the southwestern coastal region around Naples and Venice, it is becoming almost a requirement for Florida new home builder companies to include a pool in each and every design project. This luxury aspect of living here is much older than the 3-car garage trend. While the 3-car garage can easily be considered a 21st century change, the inclusion of a pool on most properties goes back further in time.
What is changing in terms of having a pool on each property is the appeal factor of the pool itself. While older homes in this region may all have pools, the newer architectural projects boast pools that are not only heated, but that come in different shapes and are often accompanied by a waterfall or

However, the houses built in the last few years are, more and more often, boasting 3-car garages. While it has not yet happened that people with 2-car garages are building an addition in order to make a 3-car garage, it is surprising to many contractors just how often new building projects show 3-car garages as standard.
The 3-car garage is just one way in which Floridian living is getting more and more luxurious. Of course, many houses have had pools in the past, but in the southwestern coastal region around Naples and Venice, it is becoming almost a requirement for Florida new home builder companies to include a pool in each and every design project. This luxury aspect of living here is much older than the 3-car garage trend.

My Experience With Home Improvement Loans
My Experience With Home Improvement Loans
Author: Amanda HashEvery once in a while I like to tell the story of how I got into the loan industry. It may be amazing but when I think about it I realize that it was due to the many home improvement projects I had to finance on my property over the years. I tried every kind of loan available and after some headaches and some advice from professionals I learnt that the key word for home improvement is Equity!
My property went through many improvements, some where rather expensive (adding rooms on the top floor) others where simple repairs, repainting or retiling. Though I usually resorted to unsecured home improvement loans due to being afraid of repossession, I finally realized that I was wasting money and risking my property all the same.
My Experience With Unsecured Home Improvement Loans
First, when I decided to make my initial home improvements I had no knowledge whatsoever about the loan market. And thus, I resorted to regular unsecured loans with such bad luck that I ended up closing on a deal with some abusive lenders that really overcharged me. That's when I learnt that comparing rates and fees is the best way to avoid rip offs.
Unsecured loans can actually provide the funds needed for home improvements as long as the improvement project is not too costly. The loan terms are not very advantageous but for small loan amounts this is not so significant. There is no risk of repossession but credit and income requirements for approval are a bit harsher.
The Loan Amount Issue
The main problem with unsecured loans is that they can not provide the necessary funds for expensive home improvement projects. This is due to the fact that unsecured lending is a rather risky transaction and thus, since the lenders want to keep risk to the minimum possible, they will offer small amount loans only when no security is present.
Though you may obtain high loan amount unsecured loans, then, the interest
