Today we wrap up a month of talking about the book Be Your Own House Contractor. It's been a fun time, I've learned a lot, and I hope you've enjoyed it too (with giveaways, what's not to love?). I'm going to end the series by pointing you to author Carl Heldmann's blog. It's just getting up and running, but if he keeps it up, the blog should be a great resource for those of us thinking of being our own general contractor.
And now for the final book giveaway. You can win a free copy of Be Your Own House Contractor. Here's how it works:
1. Leave a comment below -- any comment.
2. Sometime Monday, I'll stop by the post, stop the submissions, and name the winner.
3. It will be that person's responsibility to check back to see if they are a winner and then email me their contact information.
4. I'll send all the winners their books in one mass mailing going out the second week in September.
A few rules for these giveaways:
1. You can not win more than one prize.
2. I will be the complete and final judge.
3. Legal disclaimer: I can not guarantee safe delivery of the items. I'll send them via US Mail, so it's likely they'll be fine, but I can't control it and won't be held accountable if the mail system messes up.
4. If you win something and do not contact me within a week of winning, I reserve the right to give your prize away to another winner. Note again: I won't track down the winners -- it's your responsibility to come back and see if you won.
Good luck! Post a comment below for a chance to win this book!
Thanks FMF,
Enjoyed the comments.
