Not looking for advice, because as of last night, it's a done deal.  But has anybody else put in replacement windows?  It's unbelievably expensive.  In 2017 we did half the house (front gets all the weather) and replaced our old crappy wooden windows that stuck, had a bad R value and were just awful.  Cost $16k (which is why I didn't do the back at the time).  Well that was short-sighted, now we are doing the back and it'd $24k.  So 40 thousand all in.  That's just crazy.  How do most people afford anything like that?  Smaller houses would be less, sure, but still it seems high.  We got multiple quotes, Andersen Renewal came in at $36k for the back.

I don't expect to recoup much of that cost when we sell.  At least it will lower my capital gain on the house.  Home ownership isn't all it's cracked up to be.  I will definitely being looking at the windows in any house we buy.  It's an expense that I don't think most people give adequate consideration to.

Anybody else share this pain?
