[quote=Anonymous]We live in a rowhouse in Capitol Hill. When we bought out place several years ago, the plan was to eventually renovate it. The initial thinking was that we could just update the kitchen and bathrooms. I now think that was naive. Our house has enough deflection on the second and third floors that it can make furniture placement an annoying process, and I now that that to make renovations worth, we need to address that issue as well (eg, by replacing or sistering joists). I also think we need to do things like replacing windows and maybe doors, updating some wiring and replacing our hvac system, which is old enough that getting someone to service it is becoming a pain. Am I wrong to think that fixing up a kitchen and bathrooms is a waste if these other issues aren't addressed?[/quote]
