140 Year Old House

Has lots of character. Has lots of “issues”.

We made sure that we got a place that had “most of the work done”, and it does for the most part. I think my bar is just a little higher than most.

Though we’re not remodeling bathrooms and kitchens, we’re “properly” insulating and sealing/etc. Stuff I did in PA – when I was younger, had more time, and more motivation.

The main sewer line should be replaced. Snaking it is (not) a joy, though having to snake it is not why it should be replaced. Being 140 years old is why it should be replaced.

It’s nice. It will get done, and then be nicer.
