Redefining Kitchen Design While Improving Health and Wellness
September 17 at 12 pm Central Time
Whether you are taking this course in 2020 or beyond, you have lived through an unprecedented global pandemic that has changed how we approach life. What it means to work, socialize with friends and family, and even prepare a meal altered drastically within the space of a few weeks. People who barely knew how to turn on their oven started experimenting in the kitchen; others, accustomed to dining out, found themselves food prepping for weeks at a time; and many people with families, partners, or roommates found themselves once again gathering together at meal times. Included in all of its life-altering impacts, the pandemic has changed the way we live at home, including how we utilize our kitchens, home offices, and technology. ?

Remodeling
Whether due to a mandate by their state or a sense of respect for human over business health, an enormous number of contractors cut back activity somewhere along a zero to100% continuum during the coronavirus outbreak. Now every state has “opened up” for construction to some extent, though the criteria and terms vary enormously.

Millennial Generation Displaying Similar Home Behaviors as Their Parents
Hanley Wood

LBM Journal

We need to buy better and be more efficient to make profit.” I heard this comment from multiple people in a specific market area earlier in my career. It was true.

How To Lift Serious Weight
Pro Remodeler
Some construction tasks?hanging drywall or installing siding from a scaffold, for example?are easier with two people. Lifting heavy loads falls into that category, too, but with the proper tools it can be done by one person working alone. Leverage is the key, and while many levers are stored in a tool box, some can easily be built on site.
