Wonderful Warming Windows
We finally bit the proverbial bullet and got some new replacement windows. I'll warn you right up front that there's about 65,000 different brands, installers, manufacturers and salesmen out there all vying for your money. Do your homework.

One mistake the previous owners made was including a closet down here so now we have to count it as a bedroom, but that aside the extra space is invaluable.
Basement remodels are one of the top projects you can do in your home that will provide a significant return on investment or "ROI". Lots of projects are valuable to you as the owner and may let you enjoy the home more while you are there. That does not mean that those projects will pay off when it comes time to sell. Today we're going to exp...
