Hi Mary,
I just now had a chance to look at your bathroom remodeling lens. You've done a pretty good job.
On first glance, I'd recommend moving the guest book module to the bottom of the lens. It's more-or-less a convention on the best ranking lenses. Some people have started to put links to their other lenses that are about a different topic below the guest book.
I think most active Squidoo lensmasters may ignore anything you put below the guest book.
I can't offer any advice on monetizing the lens. Remodeling anything is outside my skill set and interest. (They don't let me touch sharp objects or have hammers inside the house.)
As far as structuring your lenses, perhaps you can build a Create Your Dream House lens as the overall "home page" and then add lenses for each room or other major topic such as dealing with sub-contractors, bloopers, and the other topics you mention.
In effect the Create Your Dream House (or Home) could serve as a lensography for the others. You can use the featured lenses module (search A-Z to find it) to link to the other lenses you create.
I wouldn't just keep adding modules to one lens.
How-To and Education is a good category for your lens.
Act on your dream!
