We had our separate entrances and we didn’t allow our guests to use the kitchen so it was more private for us.

My capex budget includes roof 25 year life span, floors 10 year life span, appliances and hot water heater 12 year life span, hvac 20 year life span, bath and kitchen remodel 20 year life span.

I’d like to put in new windows, new siding, new kitchen, open up some walls, renovate a bathroom and put in a new bathroom.      

The room where the bathroom will be is close to the plumbing from my kitchen and laundry room.

You don't say that you are buying or selling.In Illinois, things are changing everyday.However, title companies and attorneys have been determined to be "essential services".One title in Illinois is offering a "drive through" closing where you show a Closer your driver's license through the window, who passes an envelope to you with only pages that require a "wet ink" signature and then it is passed back to the Closer.Most title companies in Illinois are asking/requiring that Sellers, Seller's attorneys and both Seller and Buyer Agents NOT ATTEND the Closing.I have and will attend a closing on Monday.

Title companies and closings:Educate clients of closing processAs few ppl as possibleCurbside closings - drive up, crack your window, get docs, close window, put your ID to the window for notary, sign, open window, pass back, and drive off.No waiting for funding approval or checks – will be mailed outNo agents at closingFacetime/video notary = Not legal in ColoradoGovernor MAY help with this for an emergency bill to allow for set period of timeWhen offices are “CLOSED”(government/county offices) – that really means they are running on a skeleton crew and/or working remote.

i like to have the ac running as much as possible in the summer with the fresh air from the windows being open. 

You will miss the 3-yr window that you correctly identified, but you might still qualify for a reduced exclusion.

Sit down at kitchen table & have cup of coffee.
