  With simple improvements your house can look better, become more livable, and even become worth more. Don't be frightened to start a large home improvement project; most projects can be completed without construction expertise. Here are some tips on improving your home.
  
  One way to save money on home improvement projects is to borrow tools from your neighbors. You could also borrow tools form your neighbors instead of buying new equipment for your projects. In addition to tools, you can also share tips.
  
  Stucco could be a better option for you if you are replacing siding on your house. Depending on building codes, you may need authorization to install it, and you may need a contractor, but it is really durable, and thus worth the hassle.
  
  The time can easily escape you if you are laboring outside in hot weather. Hydration is an often-overlooked safety issue that's even more vital on hot, sunny days. Take some time out from doing manual labor to enjoy some water and look at what you have done.
  
  Organize your tools into specialized toolboxes reserved for each project. For example, a plumbing toolbox could contain pipe fittings, wrenches and PVC glue. In a separate box, keep your electrical tools and supplies. By doing this, you will be able to locate specific tools whenever you need them.
  
  Do you hate your old bedroom furniture? You can rejuvenate old furniture by simply sanding and refinishing it. If you do this, you'll have personalized furniture that looks brand new at a fraction of the cost. Old items of furniture can be stained or painted in all sorts of colors.
  
  Homeowners should avoid putting contractors' advice on a pedestal. Many contractors will try to take advantage of home owners. If the contractor tells a homeowner that there are problems with the job, and more money or extra time is required, these problems need to be verified.
  
  Locate your gas shutoff valve before beginning a project that involves your fireplace, kitchen appliances or anything else related to your gas line. You should also be extremely vigilant when working near the gas supply. Safety is the number one priority in these situations and you don't want anything bad to happen.
  
  Consider the location of your home before making home improvement decisions. Life in California will mean that installing or repairing the air conditioning might take precedence over a fireplace. Likewise, a home in a cooler state might not benefit from a swimming pool as much as a home in a warmer climate.
  
  Switch all of your light bulbs out for ones that are better for the environment and more energy efficient. These bulbs will give off more light and last longer, not to mention lower your utility costs and put less strain on the environment. Energy efficient light bulbs should be put in place of older models to save money and help the environment.
  
  Install motion detector lights around your home. By turning on the lights only when needed, these will save keep your electricity costs down. Motion detectors are also useful for keeping thieves at bay.
  
  Older homes might have stained, outdated carpeting that show the signs of the wear and tear they have endured. Hardwood floors are timeless and last a long time.
