According to our CRS Newslettter in the article Room for Improvement the following information was provided:
Jacuzzi Tub or Rain Showerhead?
Would it be better to put in a jacuzzi tub with multiple jets or a rain showerhead in your shower. Some people like to soak in a tub, but not everyone loves a tub. A rain showerhead adds luxury to a bathroom.
Home Addition?
Many home additons can look boxy or unnatural with the rest of the house. If you do go for an addition,make sure it is well designed.
Trendy Finishes?
Many people fall for the latest sytle or trend when it comes to renovating. As son as it is out of style, it wil most likely look bad. Stick to timeless, classic renovations.
Fix or Replace?
According to Consumer Reports timeline to dertermine when to say "adios" to old appliances that are not operating properly the following information may be helpful to you:
Six years: dishwashers, over the-range microwaes and top-freezer refrigerators
Seven years: clothes dryers and top loader washers
Eight years: bottom-freezer and side-by-side refrigerators, electric or gas ranges, electric wall ovens and front loader washers.
