This Month's Issue: Home Improvement

I feel like I’m always behind on home improvement projects (thankfully I’m blessed with a patient wife), but spring is a good time to get to the hardware store and make things happen. In this issue we’re touching on some energy efficient home improvements that can help lower energy costs — especially if done through a new state rebate program.
