This would be the perfect thing to finish our retirement home. We have been living here for 13 years and never quite got it finished, due to some set backs, and things aren’t the same on a fixed income. Our whole home could be done to our perfection.

Our home was built in 1932. It is small but very comfortable. Homes built then, are lacking closets or storage. We have tried to be creative, making space for everything that families have in 2010.

When I watch HGTV I have visions of knocking down walls, and making the space we have, more funtional. We have lived in our home for 17 years, my husband and I are both 59 yrs. of age, and won’t look for another home. We’ve recently added Real Touch flooring to our living and dining room. I’ll never have carpet again!!!!!! We have ceramic tile in our kitchen and hope to carry the Real Touch all the way through the rest of our home. Our bathroom is a disaster!!!! Thats the next project.

If I were to win the makeover, we would do everyhting, we have in mind……….all at once……..instead of waiting between projects to get our desired outcome.

I watch your show at every opportunity that I get because it’s so full of budget minded ideas. The home that I live in right now is an older one and it need some serious updating from the kitchen to the bathrooms. But I’m on a very tight budget and about the only thing I can do is paint. I love to cook and my kitchen is small and needs to be updated. My bathrooms are also very small and I would like to make one of them bigger. My dining area has serious floor issues, concrete which are all cracked [We bought the house like this] and the rest of the rooms well they need help too.
Once again great show I looove it.

I am a single mom with a 17 year old boy at home. I have a 350 square foot single car garage. Last year I put together a small game room for my son and his friends. I put a wall up and only used half the area.
This year I made a bedroom on the other side of the wall. My son loves his freedom.
However, there is no plumbing outside to be able to add a kitchen and bathroom. I would love to make this space into a one-bedroom apartment. My son will live at home with me until he finishes College and then I could rent the apartment for extra income when my son moves out on his own.
Please help my dream come true. For my son and for my future.
Thank you for considering my application.
I love all the shows on HGTV. Pam

We live in a home that was built for overnight guest who love the outdoors so they would buy property near disney. Every rooms in the house has massive windows which leave little wall space. The kitchen has great views, but no upper cabinets, it style is of the 50’s so laminate counter tops, cypress wood walls. The cabinet doors don’t shut and counter tops are peeling and coming unglued. It has so much potenial without taking the views away. The master bathroom also needs help. A mutiple mesh of different color green tiles. The toilet and sinks even are green.

I guess every one thinks that when their working a job, there hoping that their job will last a lifetime. But things changed for us we were hoping that we could remodel our home , but things just didn’t work out, I lost my job in 2008 then my husband lost his in 2010. But we still have our home. I hope that we might be the next winners of the sweetstakes so we can remodel our home. Have a blessed Day.

My husband has traveled for his job as a railroader all of our marriage. He has missed watching his children grow up and has made many sacrifices in order to provide for his family, sometimes traveling as far as 15 hours away from home. After working a 10-12 hour working day, he sometimes had to drive 15 hours just to spend one day with us before having to travel 15 hours back.

We are purchasing a 4 acre piece of land with a foreclosure on it. IT is in terrible shape, and needs to be completely gutted on the inside, and needs a new roof immediately. But it has always been his dream to have some land to raise bees on, and to have a small garden.

We are buying it for a pretty good price, but it will take every cent we have with no money left for repairs.

I would love to give my husband a nice home to retire in so that he can take a much deserved break from the very hard physical labor that he has endured for 34 years. One of the unsung heros of America, a railroader.
