My fondest memories of being young were sitting in that old rocking chair on the screened porch, enjoying the outdoors without the bugs and allergies. Why not make your house a home with a porch, or deck to grill up your favorite summer treats? Home improvement companies specialize in these "a little too big" job for an ordinary homeowner. Its not just large additions that a specialist tackles either, carpentry repair and framing, something VERY necessary, can be handled without the headache by hiring a professional, and resting assured the job is done well, because you don't pay until you personally inspect the work done on your house.

Sometimes these projects are imperative too. When your hardboard masonite siding begins to falter, repair is truly the only option, and doing it yourself is almost impossible without knowing the ins and outs. So again, instead of spending your time worrying, and perhaps spending money to NOT fix your problem, take advantage of the tough times and do that fix up your wife has been asking about for so long.
