Home Repairs part 2….

In the last blog I blathered on about painting my kitchen.  Now the windows in the kitchen look really bad.  So we are going to have to make a choice if we are going to replace them, fix them up or leave them alone.  We are will probably have to rent a storage unit to store our things during the process.

I am voting for replacing them.  I want awning windows that you simply turn the handles to open.  Unfortunately they are twice the cost of traditional double hung windows.  Since I am so short I really can lean across the counter and get the current windows open.  Then the other option is to simply replace the two pieces of glass that were cracked a couple years ago in the hail storm.

With the current economy do we want to spend the money or not.  Does it make sense?  This is our home and we don't have any intention of moving so it would be a long term investment.  

As with all property management decisions it really does become an investment question.  Will we get the return on our investment?  Will the new windows save us money?  Will the new windows be more secure?  Will the new windows be more convenient easier to open and close?  These are all decisions that all property owners must make. 

I am leaning towards the new awning windows.  However I think I will wait a little closer to the fall to see what the economy does…
