The decision to rehab or renovate a property is a big one. Maybe it's the perfect location but needs TLC. Maybe the bones are there but updating is mandatory. Or you need more space than the current layout provides. The temptation to buy a home and remake it into your ideal home is oh so tempting! However - there are questions to ask yourself and honest answers to contemplate before you make a commitment to take on the task. A good place to start is budgeting. By researching the actual price of your "dream home" you can start with a dollar amount to compare the fixer upper property and costs associated with the renovation. Will it save you money in the long run? If you decide that rehabbing is the way to go, it's important to then figure out your realistic estimates of what it might co...

  One day a man by the name of Willy decided to retire... He booked himself on a Caribbean cruise and proceeded to have the time of his life, that is, until the ship sank. He soon found himself on an island with no other people, no supplies, nothing, only bananas and coconuts. After about four months, he is lying on the beach one day when the most gorgeous woman he has ever seen rows up to the shore. In disbelief, he asks, "Where did you come from? How did you get here?"

"Oh, this thing?" explains the woman. "I made the boat out of some raw material I found on the island. The oars were whittled from gum ...
