The not so big house may be right size for your family; we're here to remind you that small homes need love too! Ice dams, the north wind, and snow drifts may have compramised the integrity of your shingles, siding and windows. Even in a small home - if not insulated or setup with a modernized heating system - energy bills can soar. 3Bids is here to help increase your energy efficiency or just fix up your cute little home this spring. While we doing that, take a look at the Not So Big House, by Sarah Susanka’s - this is a nice little online read, bulging with images and ideas to fix up your home. Americans’ love affair with the McMansion may be slowing - smaller, highly detailed, long-lasting dwellings are detailed in this book and website. 3Bids is here to assist Twin Cities residents looking to build or remodel their homes with resource conservation and financial considerations in mind.
