My hubby does the snowbird thing while I live full time down south, but it is enjoyable when he is lake condo with me.
I have a big, handyman around to do jobs around the house! Just because the people I was with and I are older doesn’t mean I don’t want to improve my house.
I am not all that keen on residing in a little breach shack either. I have sunk quite a bit of cash into my southern home. I substituted the family room, added another bathroom and remodeled the master bedroom, and my hubby has needed to do a lot of plumbing, Heating, Ventilation, and A/C and window substitutement for me. I recently was looking at getting a modern front door and a side door, and the side door leads to my bedroom. It is a nice little sneak out point if you want to walk a dog, take a cigarette break or just get some fresh air. I am a bit nuts about spiders. I suppose the door is not airtight. It can certainly be kicked in and spiders can come in through the cracks. The front door is pretty ulgy and wobbly as well. I obtained myself several exterior doors with glass. The front door has a full glass front with concealed blinds. The side door is half glass with the blinds. That way I can get natural light but also have privacy. I am not a door upgrade style of gal though. My hubby isn’t around for weeks. I have been looking into door upgrade or door substitutement services. I found a door supplier that is willing to install each door 300 bucks cash. I believe that is more than fair.
