[quote=Anonymous]Oh, OP, I know exactly how you feel! We've been in our house two years and were hoping that by now we'd have been able to start making changes (in my case, my two highest priorities are new windows and new floors to replace ancient carpets). Alas, we had to deal with six months of unemployment which has delayed us a bit. What has helped the window issue is new window coverings. We bought cellular shades for a couple rooms before we stopped spending money and then for the rest bought heavier (cheap) curtains as a stop gap measure. Both options have helped. For floors, we're just suffering but also not at all stressing about spills, etc., which is kind of nice. Another noise thing we need to fix is our noisy air return, but we're holding off until we replace the HVAC unit in 5-10 years before we tackle that. we've found a few ways to dampen the sound a little, but it is certainly annoying in the summer.[/quote]
