More Power in Home Improvements Quoting a line from a 1990s sit-com, more power is a great place to start on home improvement. Older properties are always suspect when it involves electrification and enough electricity is very important. A building that needs 25K watts of power to operate the various circuits will have serious and dangerous consequences if the watts, amps and volts are insufficient. An inadequate supply of electricity is hard on everything that's plugged into the system. Fire is one of the biggest dangers a faulty electrical system brings, that and Murphy and his two brothers, Broke and Stupid move into all your appliances and that includes the TV and computer. As long as you have updated your home with wiring, outlets, switches and enough circuitry to handle the load you are now reducing your energy bill because you paid a professional electrician to give you the full value you have been paying for. After an extensive service update, any electrical device a home owner's heart desires now has an adequate supply of electricity to power it. Outside products are more easily used because outdoor outlets, in enough supply to provide power to the whole property if needed, were put in and made part of the electrical up date. Having a property well electrified makes further renovation or home improvement project much easier to do. Not fighting extension cords or having to change places to use a tool will change the playing field and become a time saving advantage that the up grade provided, another win, win. Any improvement is a good improvement, as long as it is built well, is useful a majority of the time and adds value to the home. After the basic upgrades and renovations have been completed and you have had enough time to catch your breath that desire to smell cement and the feel of saw dust comes back. A desire to increase the comforts of the castle returns. And in the South and Southwest the outdoor kitchen is one of those family friendly places to gather, eat, cook and entertain. A home with a large attached covered patio is the prime place to start when designing the ultimate outdoor kitchen. As long as the patio ceiling is at least 8 feet high you can duplicate or create any area desired and a family spot is a hit, especially if food is involved. Manufacturers and suppliers have moved miles in the search for equipment that can withstand the elements and provide dependable performance year round, outside in all weather conditions. A high tech upgrade that is taking the outdoor chefs by storm is the infrared gas grill. The speed that these stainless wonders perform is unsurpassed. The perfection that all outdoor cooks seek is now just the push of a button away. Options often include heat racks, smoker function and side mounted bean or chili pot. Add an outside flat grill and breakfast on a cool spring morning is but a few minutes away with pancakes, and bacon and eggs, outside in the fresh air, and did I mention fresh coffee. Clean up is a breeze because you have a deep double sink and dish washer all designed to be at home outside. It is important to notice how flexibility changes a person's ability to enjoy down time more efficiently. Family time gained around a sumptuous meal in a comfortable setting is priceless not to mention you don't have to leave the party for a snack because the fridge is right there. Incorporate a garden and water feature into the design with an outdoor kitchen and if you live where the weather is moderate, the house will get a lot less use when entertaining. Parties happen in a well run universe and a party patio gives the host the edge. Keeping revelers outside in sight also prevents any accidents indoors or other strange goings on that don't happen outside for some reason. Having a yard or patio that stimulates the senses makes those moments more enjoyable and relaxing. Home improvement that includes the outdoors are personally rewarding now, but also give the property that kick that a prospective buyer may want some day if you ever decide to sell. Smart home improvements that are correct for the property are usually sound upgrades that often make full return on the investment because a future buyer will see the value and understand that the dream they want is ready and waiting.
