It’s the most wonderful time of the year, spring time combined with tax season (for those of you who were lucky to get a return this year).  The American consumer is often eager to spend their newfound windfall on long awaited projects and improvements.  Sadly, even after poring over multiple YouTube tutorials and reality DIY […]
