Who We Are
Projects for Tomorrow (“us”, “we”, or “our”) operates https://projectsfortomorrow.com.
Contact Email: hello@projectsfortomorrow.com
Projects for Tomorrow is a website created and edited by Heather Mueller, a home-owner, house-wife, mom and project planner. I do not admit to being an expert at carpentry, contracting and general construction projects. Please use this site as inspiration and motivation for starting your project, and not a how-to for executing your project.
Safety should always be your #1 priority when completing a project; please take extra precautions. Be sure to check with your local utility companies, homeowner’s association, and county and city authorities prior to starting a big project. Projects for Tomorrow (and it’s author) cannot be held responsible for your personal safety or the outcome of your project. Projects for Tomorrow is in no way liable. Learn more in the Disclosure Policy Section.
