UPDATE: We have a winner! Congratulations to Jose, whose name was chosen at random from all who entered. Check back at the end of August for another chance to win.
This month's giveaway is an excellent book titled Backyards: A Sunset Design Guide, which I reviewed here.
To enter, you must do two things:
1. Post a comment below that completes this phrase:
"In my last remodeling project, I made one big mistake that I will never make again. And that mistake was ______________."
2. You must leave a valid email address in the proper space (will not be made public) so I can contact you if you are chosen.
The recipient of the book will be chosen randomly from all entries made by midnight July 31, 2009.
And please leave a helpful comment for the benefit of other homeowners who may remodel in the future. The purpose of this exercise is not just to give away this book and increase traffic to my blog, but to impart wisdom to help our fellow humans on this planet. If your comment is not helpful, it will be disqualified.
And in the words of Ed Sanders from Extreme Makeover: Home Edition: Be lucky!
