Win a $20,000 Renuzit TriScents Home Makeover!
I added a screened room to my home a couple of years ago. It’s a lovely room, and gave me space to move my washer and dryer out of the kitchen so I could remodel it. The kitchen is all original to my thirty-five year-old house, except for the twelve year-old stove and refrigerator. It was a bad design to begin with and it hasn’t aged well. When I built the new room I also had a new lanai built across the front of the house and down one side. Oh, and I landscaped the yard, added a shed and had a new roof installed. That’s how far I got before I ran out of money. I thought I’d have enough set aside to start the kitchen remodel by now, but business has been really slow for over a year, so it’s just not happening. My contractor told me it would cost “about $20,000″ to replace all of my pipes, install new wiring, knock out the half-wall between the kitchen and living room, then install all new cabinets and floors. That is exactly the amount up for grabs in the TriScents Home Makeover Contest. Coincidence? I don’t think so! I think I’m supposed to enter and supposed to win. Otherwise I might end up living with cracked tile floors, sagging cabinets and a lousy design for another ten years. There’s no guarantee that I’ll win, of course, but it’s certainly nice to dream about, don’t you think? If I don’t take the prize myself, I’d like one of my friends to win. Is there any among you who couldn’t use a $20,000 makeover for your home? If we all enter there’s a pretty good chance that one of us could be the winner, so here’s what you need to do. Take a picture of your home and write a short essay (no more than 250 words) or make a two minute video explaining why your should have a makover from Renuzit® TriScents™ and Tanya Memme (yeah, that Tanya Memme - the one who hosts Sell This House on A & E.) You’ll have to show your home, scabs and all, because if you’re going to enter to win you need to show them that you really need a makeover. You have until April 30th to enter, but you should do it now because they’re limiting the contest to 3000 entires. See what I meant about there being a good chance one of us could win? Those are great odds! You should see official rules before you submit your entry, just to make sure you’ve got all of the i’s dotted and t’s crossed, but really, there’s nothing hard about it. After you’re though checking out the contest, make sure you download and print the coupon for a Renuzit® TriScents™ Starter Kit. It’s quick and easy to do and will save you a couple of bucks you can put towards a new lamp or some knick-knacks to go with your new design when you win the contest (I don’t win it, of course!)

I came across your website while doing a search for the TriScents contest, as we are a finalist in it. I didn’t know if any of your friends was finalists–if so, I can’t try to steal your vote. BUT…if not…I was wondering if you’d go check out my family’s finalist video and vote for it (if you like it!) up to once per day between now and June 7th. Ours is the 9th one shown, it has a diaper pail icon, and the title is: “A Multiple Makeover.” Thanks for any help you can give, and for promoting this contest!
