When you remodel your home — whether doing it yourself or hiring a general contractor — the safety of everyone involved should be more than a passing consideration. Following are a few articles to help you get the information you need before starting your remodel.
Reality Remodeling?
 Even the most experienced professional remodelers have accidents. A friend of mine, while doing framing work on a home, experienced a sequence of events that resulted in, well, shooting himself just above the knee with a nail gun. The X-ray shows the nail, which went completely through his femur. Ouch! It makes me cringe just to look at the image. Fortunately, help was close at hand. He made a speedy recovery and after a few weeks returned to work.
Before tackling any remodeling work yourself, make sure you have the proper training and know how to perform the tasks necessary to finish the job successfully and safely.
Before choosing a contractor, be sure to check with your state and local government to learn what the safety requirements are for anyone you hire to work on your property.
