When we move to Portugal in 2012 we plan to rent out our house in the UK; stage 10 of turning our home into a rental property begins today.
Ok it may not be stage 10, it could be stage 110, but I wanted to give some structure to my posts on this subject 
So today we’re having the two biggest windows in the house, the front bay and the front bedroom, replaced. I’d be lying if I said that I like the short term upheaval, but it’ll be worth it for us, and future renters, not to have a wind chill factor in the lounge!
When the job is complete there will only be some minor repair work to do and the blinds to re-hang; I’m hoping to keep the same window treatments to save money.
It feels good to be making progress.

Hooray for progress! Enjoy your new non-drafty lounge.

I can’t think of a single thing that made my life more comfortable in the winter than windows that were not drafty and/or constantly rattling around in the wind. Not only is my house cozier, warmer but it’s also much quieter. You’ll love them. They will be well worth it.

@FirstGenAmerican Can’t wait…and hopefully they’ve added a small amount of value to the house
