Handmade Modern: Mid-Century Inspired Projects for Your Home
Seventy–two step–by–step projects for modern do–it–yourself home and office design, by world–renowned designer Todd Oldham.
Love the look of mid–century, modern, retro design, but don’t feel like dropping two weeks’ pay on an Eames chair? Todd Oldham shares his passion for mid–century modern homes with over 72 do–it–yourself projects for anyone who loves crafts and longs to add character to every corner of their home.
Each project is charted through step–by–step photos and instructions until the fabulously mod end. Other projects include home–computer face–lifts, Xerox wallpaper, aluminium lighting fixtures, and cosy shoe–storage systems. In additional to Todd’s brilliantly engineered projects, the book comes complete with a tutorial on modern home design in the form of sidebars and short essays throughout –everything from that now–famous Eames chair to the case–study houses of the 1950s.
Handmade Modern promises to revolutionise the way the reader looks at his or her own home and capacity to beautify a space. Chic, accessible, and fun, this is the achievable new look of modern home design.

think about it this way. Your going to spend more money than you ever have in your life on a building and you want to know if spending $300 for an inspection is a good idea.
If the inspection finds only one thing that’s a problem it will have paid for itself.
If the RE Agent tells you not to have an inspection then find a new agent. -
It doesn’t matter if the builder nailed the last nail yesterday, you should ALWAYS get a professional home inspector. A few hundred dollars is a small price to pay to know about any issues your home might have. And they give you an out if the problems are too big, so long as your offer was contingent on an inspection.
A real estate agent will and should never try to tell you about a home’s condition! The are only allowed to discuss things that fall into the scope of their expertise.
To be clear though, there should be a listing agent and your own personal buyer’s agent involved here. In most cases, your buyer’s agent’s commission will be paid by the seller. If you don’t have a buyer’s agent (someone working for, representing and advising YOU rather than the seller), the money that would have paid your agent ends up in the seller’s agent’s pocket.

You should absolutely have a home inspection done on any home you are considering. If you had the opportunity to have a chat with a home inspector, you would hear some unsettling stories, even about new construction.
A good home inspector is worth every penny you pay them.
I don’t know about Eugene, but in my slice of Oregon heaven, a home inspection is about $400.

Get an inspection done … please! Its not an issue of trust as far as your realtor goes b/c they are not trained to be an inspector. They are only trained to notice "obvious" defects. An inspector will cover every square inch of the home. The report you get back will probaly contain 101 things. Don’t be discouraged when you see the list. They will uncover everything from a broken light switch to the major stuff. What you are looking for are "major, costly problems". Goodluck.

always get an inspection – what if the roof needs replacing in 2 yrs – are you ready to handle that cost? or the furnace only has a year of life left in it? or there is extensive termite damage?
