For us in Naperville,  it's no ants for 2-4 years and one morning it's a science fiction novel...ants EVERYWHERE.

You're using that asset as collateral, and you are paying for new money that the bank is selling you.") a fascinating concept, so I tried to put some numbers to it.

Around here, we have a couple of manufacturers of generic thermal pane windows and can buy them cheaper than Lowes.It's not rocket science installing them, and we found someone to remove the old windows, haul them away, and install the thermal panes for $50 a window, about half of what some others wanted.One caveat, I had an energy consultant with our local utility company come out and do an energy audit, and he said if you've already got serviceable windows it's not cost-effective to upgrade to more than storms - and this is on my new personal residence.
