25 Interesting Home Building Ideas

When building or remodeling a home, there a lot of things that one should consider. And during this process, sometimes it’s the little things that are overlooked. These things may seem small but can make a tremendous difference over time.

Searching for ‘Greener Grass’: My Relocation Experience

After living in Atlanta for about 20 years, I decided it was time to start looking for ‘greener grass’. I was getting tired of the city life and all that comes with it. I had begun making more and more trips to the North Georgia area. Any excuse would do. Sometimes, I would just spend the day driving around the mountains with no particular plan except to be up here enjoying a little bit of heaven on earth.

If the grass is greener on the other side, where is the ‘other side’?

The reports are in! An article in Professional Builders Magazine states that, according to the Pew Research Center, nearly 50 percent of Americans say they would rather live in a different community than where they now live. And of those people, most of them are looking toward the suburbs or smaller communities. Apparently, city dwellers were ‘less enthusiastic’ about their environments than those living in suburban, small town or even rural areas.
