So, um, you want to live in a lighthouse, then? 'Cause that's what it sounds like.

Maybe you live in a home that sucks. Maybe you live in a home that leans to one side, like Mr. Blandings' did before he tore it down. Or maybe your house has a giant hole in the front, like the one in "Not Another Teen Movie." Or you could have actual home problems instead of ones that exist only in the movies. You could need new carpeting, new paneling, new drapes, a new kitchen cupboards....a home makeover.

Home makeovers, like everything to do with homes, are expensive. So if you can, do things the TBOE way: using someone else's money.

Why, you cry out, TBOE, how could we ever get someone else to pay for OUR home makeover?

And I will tell you: By entering and winning the $20,000 Home Makeover in the Renuzit TriScents Transform Your Home Promotion!
