When selling a house, one of the most important rooms to update in a house is the bathroom. Living rooms and bedrooms are quite changeable by the new occupants of the home, but a bathroom is far more costly to update, so it needs to be in good shape from the start.

Use the area between the rafters of your ceiling and the joists of your floor for storing building materials.

Investing in your own drain snake can be a wise investment to save you money over the years. This will prevent you from buying drain cleaners.
