Yes I admit there are times when a renovation can save money in the long run (replacing furnace,windows ect...) but I did not find anything in the article that I disagreed with. Maybe the title was a little misleading but the content was good.
I was just a little surprised by the negative backlash she got by the comments. They raked her over the coals. Seemed like every other comment was from a contractor so I guess I shouldn't have been too surprised. I basically got tarred and feathered just for saying that I agreed with her. Man, those contractors can be nasty.
