They have replaced almost all the piping in the place and I know the electrical needs the same. The fire insurance people are out there every other year to "inspect" the place. I hate to do it but when the house becomes mine I'm selling it. To much work, time, blood, sweat, and tears!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16388644402502636929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8040223448706025231.post-55779494992975926452011-02-12T13:10:54.076-08:002011-02-12T13:10:54.076-08:00I totally agree about the money pit.

Hubby is great at 'making do' with the old stuff, because it is too big a deal to change anything out..it becomes a major overhaul! So, we put up with 'stuff' not quite working right or looking right etc. I love the character of this old home though...it is so hard to find new homes with character...free indeedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00945613713062219160noreply@blogger.com
