About 14 years ago we bought a little house which was in serious disrepair.  It had been in foreclosure for 7 years and had recently gone through mold abatement due to all the water leaks in the basement.  In the beginning, it was not livable. So, needless to say, we had our work cut out for us.

It was a pretty little block house with a brick facade, but it was showing its age.   When we were first looking at the house on a frigid day in February, I remember standing in the living room as the agent is looking out the large picture window and he says “That’s barely keeping out strangers” because it certainly wasn’t keeping out the cold. That being said, one of the first things we addressed was the windows.  Every one of the single pane casement windows in the main floor of the house needed replacing.
