Building and renovating a home can be shockingly expensive. While individual items may not seem too expensive, every little doorknob, cabinet hinge, and floor tile add up to one costly and time-consuming project. It’s tempting to want to save money however you can on your building renovation, but how can you cut costs without cutting corners? One solution is to shop at local secondhand stores, such as a Habitat for Humanity ReStore, where you can donate and purchase gently used building materials, lumber, cabinets, doors, windows, and more. While it can take a little more time to find what you need, secondhand shops often have better quality materials at a better price than new retail stores, and you’ll find items that are more special to you and your home. In short, shopping secondhand for renovation materials can help you save money, create a unique home, and protect

A Los Angeles home with a classic TV pedigree has gone on the market.

The famed “Brady Bunch” house in Studio City, which was purchased in 2018 by HGTV and then renovated in a high-rated limited series, has hit the market at $5.5 million.

The exterior of the home was used for establishing shots in the beloved sitcom. After HGTV bought the home — paying $3.5 million — the network assembled members of the series’ cast for “A Very Brady Renovation”, which followed their efforts as they made the home’s interior resemble that depicted on the show (which wasn’t filmed in a house, but on a studio soundstage).

SANDY, Utah — At the Boyle family home in Sandy they have a motto, a phrase that guides Jeremy and Amelia and their six children.

“Amelia says if you have something good, share it,” neighbor Emilie Wright said. “That’s just the hallmark of her life, and so we have something good, and we want to share that with her.”

Over the last year, finding that good has been a challenge. Jeremey, 44, a marriage and family therapist, was diagnosed with a rare and terminal neurodegenerative condition called multiple system atrophy, and his body is shutting down.

“It’s difficult for him to get up and down the stairs, to function like he used to, he’s really active and handy and he’s not able to do that as well as he used to without a lot of pain,” said Wright.

Paying for guidance on how to help the family through the difficult

The inside of Karen and Darryl Dagenais’s house looks as if it’s under construction. No drywall, electrical switches or lights. And only a couple of plugs to power the kitchen appliances.

The two said they had to rip out all the plaster and insulation last year because it had been badly damaged from rain water poured into the house through the tarps serving as a temporary roof.

“It was basically like Niagara Falls in our home,” Karen said, adding the roof had been removed during a renovation project to add two more levels to their back-split home in Windsor’s Forest Glade area.

The Dagenais' home has no electrical fixtures or switches. Just a couple of outlets for kitchen appliances.
