Home improvement and remodeling doesn’t have to be as expensive as it can seem when you peruse home stores and view model home photos in magazines. There are countless ways to achieve the same look or the same livable space while spending a fraction of the “done for you” price.

 

On this episode, radio show and podcast host Jimmy “Skinny” McKinney of J&R Construction Services, Inc., shares several DIY ideas for remodeling on a budget. Joined by project consultant, Daniel Winter, Skinny On The Home has the advice, designs, ideas, products and techniques you need for your home improvement project, big or small.
