When painting your home, it is important to do it on a day when it is not raining. The moisture in the air could cause the paint to take longer to dry. This means that there is more of a chance that the paint will become damaged. It is best to wait to paint until two days past rain.

A great way to take some pride in do-it-yourself home improvements is to take lots of photos as the project progresses. Keep your camera handy and every day when you are done with work for the day, take a few snapshots of your work. You will get a great amount of pride when the job is done looking at these photos.

Recycle the molding in the closets of your old house to finish out your renovation project! Sometimes, finding molding to match the molding from old houses can be almost impossible. One option is to remove the molding that is, likely inside your closets. You'll never notice that it's gone and it will be restored to its glory, out in the open where it can be seen.

Consider installing a water filtration system in your kitchen. Think of the money you spend on bottled water; that money can go back into your pocket with the installation of a quality filtration system. They are a relatively inexpensive improvement to make and will add a great selling point to your home when you sell.
