The annual home repair costs are generally estimated at 1% of the
home value-$3,000 per year for a $300,000 house-and this does not
take into account the cost of major improvement, such as a new
kitchen or a remodeled bathroom. Imagine how much you'd spend over
the next 10 or 20 years. Imagine how much you'd save if you were
doing even some of these repairs and improvements yourself. The
