boiler heating is one of the most efficient when it comes to heatingit may need new controls on the baseboards or thermos statsin PA I'm not sure if you need AC ceiling fans my be the way to go especially since it is a older buildingto do a complete change your looking at the neighborhood of 25-35kfind your self a old boiler guy and have him/her go through the system to make sure all the zones are working properly and have them service the boiler since it probably has not been done in yearsenjoy

Things like broken coffee pots or ceiling fans?

Plan to remove the attic fan, since they soffit are mostly closed now, making the benefit of an attic fan useless.

I do like higher end ceiling fans, often with a remote control mounted on the wall. 

I'm not a fan of most retirement accounts for this reason nor liquidating income producing assets for cash.

But please do it in the back yard" etc.If it looks like the kids not stopping, I might go so far as to purchase a window fan and ask them to utilize it.

Not a fan of white appliances or cabinets but personal preference.

I'm a big fan of the NE part of the city in terms of future growth/demand for a number of reasons.I think there are still decent condo buys to be had, but I would stick to areas fairly immediately around the light rail stations.

I bought a home that needed a complete rehab, spent about 40k I had saved up on materials and spent a year doing the work minus the roof (not a fan of heights).

The project will involve laying new flooring, minor layout reconfiguration, full interior and exterior painting, a bathroom remodel and some minor electrical work (i.e. installing fans, vent hood, replacing outlets, etc).Any references are appreciated!
