the single paned windows with new double paned energy efficient windows.\u00a0 Then we moved in and started getting settled and working on the yard.\u00a0 The entire lot is just under 19,000 square feet which means tons of potential for creating a fantastic backyard oasis. \u00a0\u00a0 In May, we are planning to gut the kitchen, then redo the flooring.\u00a0 This house is going to be a fun
