• Kitchen updates for selling?

  We want to sell our condo in the spring. Our kitchen is older and has forest-green linoleum countertops. We want to do some updates to make the kitchen more attractive, but we only have $2K to spend (and we'd like to spend less if possible).

• Should I replace my hollow doors?

  My house was built in 1934 but someone replaced all the the interior doors with hollow ones, not solid wood. It seems weird in this historic house. Is it worth my money to replace them all before selling? - Rick
