According to a story on CNN.com, the Internet is a bounty for those ready to remodel. You can find help and information in many areas, including:

• Finding a contractor (check out Franklin-Report.com and Angieslist.com)

• Checking on a contractor’s credit rating, license and insurance (contractorcheck.com)

• Ordering supplies (HomeDepot.com, Lowes.com, eFaucets.com, TileShop.com, and so on)

• Check online for takeout menus. If your kitchen is under construction, you’ll need something to eat.

• Look online for vacation deals and discounts at bed and breakfast inns, then book your room. When a remodel is making you absolutely nuts, you need a change of pace.

• And finally, download some soothing music or meditation instructions from iTunes. You will need to calm down, so plan for it.
