George Clarke and Mike Edwards at the Ideal Home Show

The feedback we have received from the Ideal Home Show has been overwhelming with huge numbers of our Desired Outcome Building Contract being requested. It’s great to know we are helping so many people understand the best ways to avoid the cowboy builders and give them confidence to pursue their home improvements. If you would like to read more about building contracts and receive our FREE Desired Outcome Building Contract – go to our Building Contracts project and click on the link to email us.

We have also received great thanks for hosting the Ideal DIY Dad of the Year competition last Sunday with George Clarke at the How To Theatre in such a fun and entertaining way! We think Mike and George had as much fun as everyone else though!
