I just received this from a reader in Brooklyn. If he wins the 25 grand he should split it with me, dontcha think?

“Well, it took me a month since I first read about the contest on your blog. But since we’re actually still in the process of buying the house that has the project I want to win the $25,000 for — it took a lot longer to get around to filming and editing a 2-minute video.

I’ll be honest – it’s not the most creative entry. But as least I got it in under the wire!

Thanks again for publicizing the contest. I’m hoping I can win a $200 gift card… I’ll keep you posted.

And I love your blog. I visit every day and bookmark a bunch of your links so I can have reference for our future home renovation projects. We’re going to be thrifty, too!
