"Law and Order" made its TV debut on this day in 1990. It brought the two sides of justice together to demonstrate how one benefits the other. The same principle applies to home improvements. Every remodeling job has products and materials that come with literature, manuals, and warranties. When the physical work is finished, the elements are successfully installed and everything is delivered and in place, only the first part is done. Then, its day-to-day use and everyday service begins, and numerous invisible warranties go into effect. But, if a homeowner neglects getting all manuals, literature and warranty information, he forfeits a great deal of knowledge and product protection that is rightfully his. So, when any construction nears completion, lay down the law and make getting all the paperwork a contract condition for completing the order. And that's the On The House tip for today.
