Hello, everyone! Thrilled to announce that my spouse and I have moved into our new home and renovations are in full swing. We're beginning with the windows – any advice on where to purchase them?

I read somewhere that some places still have concrete pipes, can you believe that? Like, how is that even a thing? They're so fragile. No wonder the water pressure’s awful, the water quality sucks, and you constantly need a plumber to fix it. Seattle’s got plenty of problems like this, so I guess it's no surprise there are a bunch of solid plumbing companies around, including bens.plumbing/services/drain-clean... . You’ve gotta clean out roots and leaves too. Sometimes there's just way too much rain and the storm drains can’t handle it. That junk ends up in the pipes.

I’d replace half the stuff in my house. It’s old, what can I say, and everything wears out over time. Windows are one thing, but the plumbing and pipes are in terrible shape. I don’t know what kind of pipes they are, the house is old like I said. Maybe it’s even cast iron or steel. So, my situation is weak pressure and rusty water.

Upgrading my windows recently was a decision I'm glad I made, as it significantly enhanced both energy efficiency and the appearance of my home. If your current windows are outdated or drafty, I highly recommend considering an upgrade. From my experience, prioritizing energy efficiency is crucial. Look for windows with a high star energy rating. Additionally, consider the frame material carefully—whether it's vinyl, wood, or aluminum, each has its own unique qualities.
