I want to bring this house completely up to code, because I can feel a condo in my future. Hopefully, the near future! It's a great small house, about 1,000 sq feet on one floor, hardwood floors, an almost finished basement below, on 3/4 of an acre. I'm fairly handy, if I know what to do (my daddy & I rebuilt the kitchen), but alone, I'm time-poor.

Are you putting in a double paned window?

In my dream world my windows will be double paned with blinds inside the class to cut down on dust and cats attempting to use the blinds, and be double hung so I can open the top as well as the bottom.
