Paul Escobedo :: Remodeling Principles and Priorities
8April 21, 2011
Something powerful that has fundamentally refocused us on our true priorities. Maybe we’re rediscovering that what’s meaningful isn’t just a home stuffed to the brim with expensive materials and costly appliances, but rather a comfortable and sustainable respite that centers on what matters to us most: our families, our communities, and our planet.

Building Moxie Gets a Reader Question :: The Ten Essential Tools for Homeowners
45April 14, 2011

If only you could drive your house up to the home center
