Thanks for suggestions thusfar....

Another question I forgot to ask- Are skylights not enjoyed by
everyone? I.e. this isn't something that universally improves the
value of the home, right? This is a "starter home" and we expect to
live here about 5 years or so and move on to bigger and better things.

Would it be better to invest the money elsewhere, such as a kitchen or
bathroom renovation, central air, or something that is universally
desireable?

Thanks for any and all...
