series, people who have chosen to either build a new home, or do extensive
remodeling or renovations on an existing home, need to exercise caution
every step of the way to insure that being in this new territory doesn't
create any unnecessary problems, delays or costs. The first step in the
process, which we covered in part one, is deciding on a design, getting
