A couple years ago, I decided to redo my patio, and originally I planned on going with plain concrete like everyone else on my block. But after a bit of research (and some frustration with how easily concrete stains), I swapped it out for composite decking tiles instead. Best choice I’ve made — they snap together, don’t crack in the cold, and look way more polished. Anyone else made a material change they’re still grateful for?
Funny how little upgrades around the house can end up being the things you appreciate most over time. I didn’t even notice how drafty my living room was until I visited a friend's place and felt how much cozier it was. Makes you start thinking about all the stuff we just learn to live with until someone points it out without saying a word.
Totally get what you mean. I used to have these old aluminum windows that were noisy as hell and leaked air in the winter. Ended up switching them out with build mart windows and the difference was night and day — quieter, more energy efficient, and they just look cleaner. Honestly, I didn’t realize how much of an impact windows could have until I made the change. Worth every penny.
