Those of us who work in the home construction and design industry
tend to forget how many little things there are that go into the
creation of a new home or a redesign. There are design elements
that have to be decided upon, from the big picture such as the
overall architectural style of the home, down to the simplest
things such as the type of kitchen hardware or the balusters for
the staircase or deck.

When my husband and I could not find a house that suited our
needs, we investigated building a house, and ended up buying a
modular home. A modular house is built in a factory, which means
the quality is often better than traditional "stick built" houses
where weather and other variations interfere with the process. A
modular is also less expensive and quicker, since teams work on it
step-by-step to complete production in a few days.

balconies, patios, breezeways, lawns, driveways, walks, sundecks,
windowsills, porches, summer houses, even tree stumps can be
utilized.

However, where many of us cannot afford the down payment on a new
purchase of property, so renting a property on a yearly lease may
be the way to go while saving for your first house.

Joe Landlord just received a phone call about a busted water
pipe in apartment 3c, an overflowing washing machine in 2d and a
broken window in 4a, so Suzy Tenant's complaint about the "noisy
neighbors" will remain low on his list of things to attend to.
Perhaps, at a better time, Joe Landlord will be happy to help Suzy
with her noisy neighbor dilemma. Sometimes, though, there just
never is a "better time." So what can

those working in finance, logistics, materials management and other
functions. Thus, business owners need to sell the benefits of

been considered more of an art than a science, which explains part
of the resistance. Also, some businesses find themselves with older
reps who, though they have critical industry knowledge, did not
grow up with computers.

Many businesses are still focusing on yesterday's problems at the
expense of forgoing future opportunities. The best chess players
always have a strategy in place. But in businesses, future planning

Remember the days when it seemed as if every Web site began with a
home page that featured some sort of animated flash, with the "skip

and perceptions. Every relationship and every organization that you
are a part of has a structure. You influence that structure by the
choices you make. Structure
