When we bought in 2013 we took out the carpet and installed bamboo flooring; we put $35k into a complete overhaul of the kitchen; and we added impact windows in 2015.

A furnace clean is easy but all new windows can be an inconvenience for them.

Included demo and buying and installing 2 pre-hung metal doors - one with a half window and one just plain white (included door, framing, bottom threshold, hinges, basic knobs and locks).

I’m going to have the foundation, doors, windows, roofing, exterior sheathing, rough in plumbing and electric, done by a contractor.  

Looking for signs of leaks is my #1 reason for annual interim inspections...I always check under sinks (taking pics) and also take pics of ceilings in general, especially bathroom and kitchens, and floors in all the suspect areas (toilet, tub, laundry, sink base, under-counter water heater, etc.) and depending on the apparent age of the unit, I try to get a look at accessible window sills if this is an issue I have any concern about.

The used the battering ram on the doors and windows to gain entry.

Not totally, but, it needs siding, roof, kitchen, bath remodel, windows, and landscaping plus finish work.

- It amazes me that someone would throw money out the window like that.

Nasty issue is the curved glass windows are impossible to replace. 

My wife says you need a window over your sink so you can look at stuff while you do dishes, pans etc.
