when we bought the house the guys who remodeled it switched out a lot of them, but there are still a few that could be done. for now though, there's enough that have been replaced to plug in all we need. so i think if we replaced the remaining light switch and outlet covers, we are looking at 1k or 2k per outlet/switch?

Oh, at least.

You also may want to look into having the windows cleaned. That's free equity, baby.

Another thing to really boost the value of your home is to add a doorbell that can play multiple chimes. It says 'klassy' and it increases the overall value of your home in the 1-2% range. Not bad to install a $20 doorbell yet get back $3-4K in equity.

The thing that drives me nuts about a swamp cooler is if you leave the cereal box open, you will end up having mush. But, it sure is cheaper than AC.
