But Nov. 25 should be celebrated as an Independence Day of sorts, at least by professional athletes ... and probably their fans as well. That's the now forgotten day that baseball player Curt Flood changed sports in this country more than any athlete since Jackie Robinson.
Follow this four-step plan to arrive at the answer. 1. Ballpark the costs. First, get a handle on how much your remodeling dreams will cost. In general, major upgrades, such as a bathroom remodel or a family-room addition, run $100 to $200 and more per square foot. If youâll be using a design pro or remodeling contractor, discuss your project with them to get a rough idea of costs. 2. Figure out how much you have to spend.
After the renovation, experts determine the value of each home, dramatically revealing whose remodeling choices were good investment decisions. I watched only one episode and in it were 3 couples who spent $75,000 on a kitchen remodel. Well only 1 of the 3 couples increased their home value beyond the $75,000 they put into it. The hosts actually said they all did a great job, for investment purposes.
