The Upkeep of the Home
Take It And Run:

The vast majority of us live in homes that need
everything from simple paint touch-ups to new furniture, to major renovation
projects to outdoor landscaping. Are homes ever finished? Even the beautiful
homes featured in magazines like Architectural Digestand Metropolitan Home need
regular maintenance to keep them in picture-perfect condition.
Should you be depressed that your home needs
work? I don't think so. Like people, a home is a work in progress. There's always
something to update and improve.
But if you do something before you can really
afford to do it right, you may not like the result. Either you'll have spent
more money to fix the flaw, live with it, or, as dramatic as it may seem, sell
the home.
