Home Upgrade: Insulate Your Attic

We know, we know! This isn’t a fun job. But it can save you a boatload of money on all that lost heating, and it’s a relatively simple task. You’ll first have to measure the space and go out to buy the proper insulation batting to fill your exposed ceiling cavities.

Spray insulation is only recommended if you have experience in the field. But measuring and cutting batts is something that anyone with a sharp knife and a measuring tape can tackle.

Make sure you cover exposed areas of your skin, wear protective gloves, and put on some goggles to protect yourself from those annoying itchy fibers that go airborne.

Home Upgrade: Re-Paint Your Kitchen Cabinets

This job is a bit more involved than replacing the hardware altogether, but the results are worth it. After choosing your favorite color and prepping the cabinets, you’ll find that the actual job of painting this essential kitchen item is fast and effortless.

It’s simple, too. You have to clean them, scuff them up with some sandpaper, prime them, and paint them using two coats. Simple, right?
