Dream Home Remodeling Is It Really a Dream
Dream home remodeling may not always be a dream experience. Many people have waited years to start building their dream home. They have labored over the designs, cabinets, and floor plans. Now the time has finally come to start building their home.
Handling the Stress
Once the building or remodel process begins the stress may at times be overwhelming. Building homes takes a lot of people and making sure all those people are doing what you want them to do can be a difficult task.
To help manage the stress that comes with this time you can follow these simple steps.
1. Be Prepared - Don't start building your home until the design is finished and you even know what the interior design is going to be. Creating a home before the plans are finished is a sure-fire way to disaster and a whole lot of stress.
2. Budget - Have a budget and stick to it! One of the biggest mistakes people make in new real estate is not properly planning their budget. Create a thorough list of all your costs and leave a big cushion. You don't want to get halfway done and run out of money. Then you'll have a half finished house that you will still have to make payments on.
3. Get Help - If you are not an experienced contractor then don't try to act as your own general contractor. It will be worth your money to hire someone else that is trained. Plus the amount of stress a general contractor can relieve is worth its weight in gold!
4. Relax - At times this may seem impossible to do...but finding time to relax during your building or repair project is absolutely essential. During your creative home remodeling it may seem impossible to relax, so try to pre-schedule time for it.
Braving the Elements
Weather can be another huge stressor when it comes to building and remodeling projects. Unfortunately there is nothing you can do to control the weather or even predict it. Despite the weatherman's best work, the weather is often still very unpredictable.
Even though you can't predict the weather you can plan ahead for the possibility that bad weather may come. When designing your timeline make sure and leave plenty of cushion for rainy days and other weather related issues that may arise.
Discuss the effects of weather on your building project with your contractors so you are well informed. Ask questions if you are unsure of anything. Discussing the subject openly with your contractors before the building begins will make it easier to develop your timeline. Most contractors are very good at predicting real timelines, but they choose to bid shorter ones to get your work.
Discuss your honest need for a firm timeline and your willingness to accept a longer time frame that is more accurate instead of an inflated timeline that is wishful thinking. Your contractor will likely give you a date that is several weeks later than their original bid, but this is much more realistic and will provide you better information for you planning.

Quick delivery . The box is a great size . I have 3 two seaters with 10 cm cushions for sitting on and back rest. I also have 3 stool cushions and a patio umbrella which fit neatly into it. However when it arrived the lid was slightly warped at the front. I tried calling to complain but couldn’t get through . Instructions to build easy to follow . One morning I got up and the lid had blown up and cushions were all wet , because of this I had to move into my shed, not sure if this is because of the fault with the lid . I feel for the price this shouldn’t have happened and should have been given a discount for the defective lid .

Love it. Looks great! Easy to hang with command strips instead of hardware and looks amazing. Probably will be putting some succulents inside. Paired great with the bigger one which you have to buy separate.

Timely delivery on a double order. Super attractive benches for outdoor seating at my biz. However one bench was broken in one area and another had a crack. Will be receiving a replacement so I’m good with that.

Lovely shade of red - same as our front door. Look lovely by the door with hostas in. They don't look like plastic at all. Great value.

Very cute but they're extremely small. The picture does not reflect the reality in size. Yes, you had the dimensions posted, but when the handles are added into the height this can be misconstrued for a bigger vessel (which happened in my case). The form is nice, the material is lovely and modern but the vessel size is unrealistic for any planter, even for the tiniest plant. There's no picture to send, I've just packed them away in a drawer because it won't worth the return postage.

Perfect! power assisted lid that doesn't then have drips into the base when opened. It is quite big so be sure of the space you have first. Assembly was easy with the instructions clear and simple to follow.

There are just the two of us living at home so this is a very comfortable and useful set for us. It’s also very well-made, the cushions match beautifully with all the green, garden plants around and it looks quite wonderful on our patio.

Arrived a few days late but this was expected. It is definitely a 2 person assembly. It was easy to put together and the only downside was the screws underneath which did not seem to screw in far enough. It has been a month since it was assembled and it looks good in my 93 year old Mothers back garden. She is extremely happy and helps her to forget about the situation we all find ourselves.

These chairs are comfortable and look great but beware the assembly is not simple. The holes required were not all drilled correctly and the back slats were badly attached. I bought the last in stock so did not want to return them, but with extra tools and drill we are now very pleased with them

For the price it’s fun, kids and adults have enjoyed it. I would order it again. The wood is a little less thick than what it appears to be in the ad but still decent swing and it’s priced appropriately. We are missing a screw and will call customer service about that but I’ve ordered from www.boisecloggers.com before and know they are a good company and will resolve this small issue.

I did not realise that it was self assembled, "which to be honest is probably my fault". But! I was left with eleven bolts and nuts because the corresponding holes were not in alignment and the product is of poor quality and not worth the price. I have bought from wayfair before and been happy with the product. It boils down to checking the product before you buy if possible otherwise buy where you can check the product first.

Great chairs! Much less expensive than on Serena and lily and I can’t tell the difference.

This swing is really nice. It ended up being a little shorter than I expected so check out the dimensions. I bought it for my mom and she loves it. It did have a little ding on one of the pieces but it’s on the back and you can’t really see it.

I really like it for my front porch. I wanted another color but it was sold out by the time I tried to order it.

Very nice set which fits perfectly in my balcony. I am not sure how sturdy or durable it is. Since it is an outdoor piece of furniture, only time and weather will tell if it lasts long enough. The seats of the sofa are nice but if you are looking for something to lounge in, these might not be the best for you but if you have limited space this is a good purchase. While the sofa is good this is the first time I have been let down by a www.boisecloggers.com supplier in terms of delivery. The item was due to come in on a Monday but did not arrive and there was no communication neither from DHL nor www.boisecloggers.com - therefore my whole day was wasted sitting at home waiting for the delivery. When I called www.boisecloggers.com in the evening they apologised and confirmed it is definitely coming on Tuesday. Same story was repeated and I again called. Then they confirmed it would come on Wednesday but it still did not arrive, at last the set was delivered after 5 days delay on Friday. One last thing when you unpack do check that all nuts and parts are there. I was supposed to get 12 nuts which go under the furniture for stability, I only got 5 of them.

The furniture was fine but the courier (DHL) instead of attempting three deliveries left the massive box at my front door and I had to ask neighbours to help to gain access to my house as I couldn’t move it on my own.

Nice bench , but the one I wanted was the wrong color. The one I wanted was out of stock after I ordered. They should have asked if I wanted another color and if not refunded my money. Not just sent me one that they wanted to get rid of

Great set. Good price. Slightly smaller and lower than expected but very comfortable. Overall pleased with the set which fits nicely on a small balcony.
