Introduction
You may or may not want to be a "Do It Yourself" kind of person when you purchase your home but it is important to have some basic understanding of what is involved in the projects that you want done around your house. For instance, you may want to replace your kitchen floor with tile. You do not want to start the job without some idea of the cost!

- Calculate the number of tiles needed to floor a room.
Enduring Understandings
