The time is almost here. The days we must entertain and impress our loved ones for Christmas, unless you plan on traveling to someone else’s house this upcoming holiday weekend.

People who actually pride themselves on creating home additions, and even entire homes themselves, beyond just fix it work are the people you want to seek out for your next (or first) home addition or renovation.
We recently got wind of a story about an in-wall television installation in a kitchen and liked what we heard. The person in question had a relatively old flat screen television, meaning that the back portion of the set protruded out some three inches or so.
