This Month’s Issue:
This month we’re sharing some pro tips on making your home look great, whether you plan to sell or stay awhile. Most of these are do-it-yourself (DIY) projects, but be warned that even the bestplanned project can go south — check out Home Improvement Fails for proof from our readers. Also, North Carolina’s electric co-ops were on the national stage at a recent annual meeting.
