My home was built in 1982, and we bought this home in 1995.   We've taken our time getting each bathroom updated over that last couple of years. The only remaining major project to do was the kitchen. It was an ugly, dated kitchen.  Yes, I wished and shopped around but could never commit to the renovation.  The costs to renovate were just too much money.  But, recently I spoke with a experienced Gainesville home builder, Tom Henley.   Tom had... 01/03/2013
