3-7-14 long cold winter delays home remodeling projects

MILWAUKEE (AP) — The long, cold winter has put a damper on home construction, including the remodeling industry. WUWM-FM reports projects are delayed when temperatures drop because mechanical tools don't function properly. The president of the Milwaukee chapter of NARI, the National Association of the Remodeling Industry, says the delays are stressful for construction workers who have to file for unemployment if they're off the job.
