While noncompliance can cost you a maximum fine of $12,675 (though most people expect OSHA to be lenient in the beginning, except if the violation is willful). Repeated or willful violations can reach nearly $127,000. But considering the risks involved, you should be more concerned about your health than your wallet.

Google search, “How much does it cost to remodel a kitchen?” and the first answer says that the average kitchen remodel runs $21,773. A couple of scrolls down reveals more information: The job should take four to six weeks; custom cabinets are available for as low as $500 per linear foot; and — confusingly — kitchen remodels actually have at least two average prices, the second of which is $20,556.

A standard feature in many kitchens is a 6 or 12-inch-tall soffit that runs at least partly along an exterior wall. Unless this soffit is properly air sealed, it creates a big air leak in the ceiling that wastes energy and draws unconditioned air into the house. It also provides a path for moist air from the surrounding conditioned space to leak into the attic, where it deposits condensation and reduces the R-value of the insulation.

For the very young, the very old, and the injured of any age, most homes are an accident waiting to happen.
During a family vacation this summer, my 88-year-old mother stumbled and fell as she walked between two houses we had rented. No one saw the fall — she shouldn’t have been walking unaccompanied, but try telling her that.
