Value Engineering

"Getting it built cheaper." Could you build your fireplace for half the price if you used a pre-cast die setup, instead of having a mason custom lay bricks? Of course you could. So why have the mason then? Will you really notice any difference? Of course you won't. Not really.

You've just value-engineered the savings of 2 grand in your lovely lakeside cabin. You'll want to spend that money on Axe-Murder-Away, a new spray that keeps axe murderers far, far away from your front door.
