Last Seen...Improving Homes

Men in Gorilla Suits

It's time to change that avocado-colored kitchen you've looked at daily since buying that 60s ranch house in the 'burbs. But how? Do you hire contractors, do it yourself, or find the right combination of both options?

More people than ever are giving it their own go. If you live in the suburbs, you are likely just a few miles from a large home improvement store. Many cities offer grants to improve where we live. Access to industry knowledge and materials is commonplace, and the result is more homes being updated than ever.

That's what the Gorillamen are talking about this time around...specifically:

• When did you first become aware of home improvement?
• Growing up, what home improvements did you see done? (Could be your family, or others.)
• Functionality used to be enough, but now we love luxury and design. Why do you think home improvement is such a big thing?
• Why do you think Do It Yourself home tasks have become more popular than ever?
• What is your favorite home improvement show?
• Have you ever worked in a job centered around home improvement? (Or, if not…do you ever have the urge?)
• How has the Internet changed home improvement?
• What's the most involved home improvement task you've done?
• How do you learn how to update things around your home?
• What's one home improvement task you need to do or have done?
• What is THE home improvement task you want to do or have done?
• What is the future of home improvement?
