Now that I have taken a ownership position with Tri-Lite Builders, Linda Minde and I are having fun creating a new look to our newsletter.
We have decided to merge newsletters now that I am involved with both companies.. I am also adding new content to the Tri-Lite website, as well as creating an additional new Tri-Lite blog site.
Our goal is to increase the amount of helpful information about all aspect of remodeling on our Tri-Lite Builders and Homework Remodels websites and newsletters.
See our March Newsletter.
You will want to see this video example of how many styles of Wellborn Cabinets that have worked for HGTV's Dream Home in 2011 and years past.
Both Homework Remodels and our business associate, Tri-Lite Builders were chosen to be Premier Authorized Contractors for these quality cabinets.
We think you will enjoy the following informational video about the HGTV Dream Homes and Wellborn Cabinets. It has great examples of what can be done in Kitchens, bathrooms and other home remodels.

Most people don't have a clue how much electricity their various appliances and entertainment units use on a daily basis. If you are curious about where your money is going you may be interested in this tool.
This Kill A Watt measuring unit can measure the electrical use of any appliance in you home and send the results to its remote monitoring station to help you get a handle on your energy use.
The remote unit will work with as many as eight measuring units.
By making yourself more aware of the power use of various appliances in your home you can have more control of your energy bill.
The kill A Watt company also has more simple measuring units that work without the remote unit.
I just got back from the Coverings Tile and Stone convention in Las Vegas. It was a great opportunity to see the latest in solid stone showers as well as everything available in tile.
My wife Sally and I went with a group of our associates from the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI).
The bus trip was a little long, but it was great to spend time with some of my fellow contractors.
As you can see from the photo above, it was a huge convention with every imaginable style of tile and solid surface product.
My goal was to learn about the latest thing in stone products for kitchens and especially bathrooms.
I have had many homeowners ask if there is a way to have a quality shower without all the grout. I had heard there was a new travertine and marble product that would be a great solution for people who don't like the maintenance of grout.
The stone comes in large sheets that can be custom cut at the job-site to create any number of beautiful shower features as well as numerous other applications.
The product is called ForzaStone. I was very impressed with the display showers I inspected at the show. It is real stone that will not fade or discolor over time. It is !00% sealed and waterproof and requires minimal cleaning. The stone panels come as large as 48 x 96 inches in both travertine and marble.
I expect that we will be installing many of these showers now that we have a supplier for the stone. If a shower without the bother of grout is in your future give us a call.
