I think it all came up through the drain last night though. had a friend in PV with that problem- turned out the check valve the city put in when they addressed the flooding problems back in the 80s was backwards. Old houses man...I have a feeling the pipe under the floor is all busted so water just comes up through the opening. gonna have a plumber out to take a look

KU is right on par with Notre Dame ... when it comes to adding additional conference revenue

Let's just say, hypothetically of course, that you were given $2000 to fix up your house. Would putting that towards new windows be a good investment, or do you guys think there's something more fun that you could do with it?
Windows won't pay back quickly unless you have really old crappy ones
HVAC was replaced the month before we moved in, and the roof is good to go. The bathroom was redone about two years ago.
What about a bunch of little things like painting trim, putting fans in the bed rooms, new blinds, etc? Is that a better idea than windows?

Def get fans. Also, agree on the cabinet refacing. I know a few ppl that have had it done and like them. It is pretty reasonable too.
