Refinished my family room. I took down all the nasty wood paneling, and hung drywall. The windows you guys see lead into the master bedroom. Not good to have them open when I'm trying to sleep during the day, and the occasional evening activities. :D I put a window in the one opening for fire escape purposes only. If it wasn't for that, I would have just closed it up. Next I'll be putting drywall on the ceiling (probably next year), and also laying down a hardwood floor to replace the carpet.

Before (taken from when we first looked at the house):

During & After. Notice the carpenter ants nest I had to destroy:
