If you want to keep your investment around spend the money to do it right, you want it to last right? Although, I would definitely agree with the fact that sometimes you do need to just cut your losses; though this happens rarely. Great podcast, very informative!

I'm currently in a newer home and I'm doing the second toilet fill valve since the house was built. Same symptoms as the one in this video. http://www.handyguyspodcast.com/828/video-toilet-repair-fill-valve-replacement Fortunately is a $7 easy DIY fix.

First it was a pipe that burst in the basement, then it was the sink upstairs. My parents were constantly having to fork out money just for maintenance.

You need to pick and choose your remodeling projects, begin with the most important such as painting, yard work, roof repair, ect. Do your projects well the first time and don't cut corners, you will find that your projects will last longer. A home is an investment and requires constant maintenance.
