We waste water every day—for example, when we let the water run while we brush our teeth or wait for the shower to hit the perfect temperature. It’s fairly easy to save water by cutting out these wasteful habits. But if you’re already pretty good about conserving water, how can you reduce your water usage even further?

Whether you’re looking to renovate your entire kitchen, complete with new cabinetry and appliances, or you just want to update your living room with a fresh coat of paint, new furniture, and carpeting, remodeling can be a pricey prospect.
