Also, does anyone know of small companies who make high quality windows?

They don't have to be high end wooden Andersen windows, but I just don't want flimsy ones, or ones that don't open easily, quality locking mechanism, has a screen that fits securely but is easy to remove, etc...

I prefer double hung.

I would like vinyl flooring because I like these aspects of it:

1. I can scrub it using hot water and liquid soap without damaging it.

2. It's impermeable3. It's softer than stone4. It's not cold5. It does not have edges, connections or ridges where dirt can get caught like grouted or adhesive tiles or wood planks.

Thanks
