Very impressing
My old house was built in 1858. Solid brick, no insulation, 11' ceilings. It did have some charm, character, but it was a real drain on me to keep it cool and to heat it too. In all honesty, I don't miss the house I just miss the freedom, alone time, peace, quiet and the ability to have some real relaxation. I couldn't get up and down the stairs easily but I knew my daughters were up there and that they were happy, safe, fed, cared for. I don't get any of that now. That's what I miss. I miss being with them the most. Even if they were stressing me out, it was a kind of stress that I knew how to deal with and handle. A stress that I could change. Issues that I could adjust, correct, and help. I lost them, I lost the house 3 1/2 months ago. Seeing them yesterday was so very nice. They gave me a sense of calm just by being with them even though neither of them, are where they want to be. They want to be with me. I'm working on that part now too of course. I know that I just need to be patient but this shit sucks ass. Taking my son back to Louisville today isn't going to be fun either. I will miss him and think of him often afterwards. He's 16 today. His day of birth. He is a blessing. I will be with him again at Christmas, and then will be looking forward to the day that he can move away from his Mother too. I envision that all 3 of my kids will be in my same home with me in the future. Just have to be patient, hope, wait for that day. We will be together again...Quote:

I can relate E-man. My house is dated as pre 1900. when i bought it the place was in shambles. 14 years later i am still working on it and after last winter i wish i would have insulated it first. The stairs in my house are the old very steep stairs that would not make code in todays standards. I remodeled the upstairs the second year i was here and after many falls down the damn stairs i do not go up stairs unless i have to stop the kids from fighting or something needs fixed. Ever since the recession it's been a struggle just to keep the house and pay bills. The good old "American dream"aint quite what it used to be. I guess thats why the rental market is booming now. Enough rambling and i do feel your pain. Peace
Happy Sunday Ch,
After reading yours and Johns accounts of living in pre-1900 homes, the romantic notion I've always had about them had completely gone out the window!
I don't always agree with I'm-suffering, but his idea of something new really sounds good. I certainly don't regret buying my house brand new 14 years ago. Only now am I having to consider some fairly major repairs, the shingles are going so next spring I have to have the roof done. They will probably last a few more years but I'm thinking I better do it sooner than later.
I hope you can convince your girlfriend to consider something new, for the money you are talking about you must be able to find something really nice.
Have a wonderful day friends,
Cheers
Pam
Hey John! Yes, my then wife wanted an old house so I bought it in 98. In the early years there, when I was younger and healthy, things didn't seem to be as tough to deal with. Or maybe I just didn't pay much attention to it then. I didn't really have time too as I was just way too busy with working, trying to make money, to pay all the bills. The utilities weren't as high as they became. I also threw a lot of money into the house, the kitchen especially although I was fine with the kitchen the way that it was, my wife wasn't. Then, it did just become a chore and challenge to be sure that everything was paid. I know the feeling about that struggle to keep the house, pay the bills. If only We the People would have gotten a bailout..we suffered.Quote:

Yes Pam. Try to avoid that romantic notion at all costs! My house literally ate me alive both mind, body, and soul. $600.00 a month gas bills! Just to keep it 65 degrees inside. We were always cold unless I had a fire going in both the fireplace and the wood stove too. I can truly empathize with you about the roofing project. That's what I did for 30 years. Strenuous, labor intensive, hard on this old body. Part of the reason that I can hardly walk anymore. My body is shot. And the cost of roofing materials skyrocketed in the past 5 years or so too. They doubled in price. They blamed it on increased cost of oil. I blame it on the recession. Selling less product, so they must charge higher prices for the product that they do sell. There used to be a project taking place at every corner or block, now, there is nothing taking place and everyone is out of work to do. I've called many roofing companies to try to sell some of my equipment, none of them are interested because they have no work, no money, no backlog of things to do. We are still in a recession here and everyone is hanging on to their money. Now that was rambling! YAY!!!Quote:

Less maintenance, less upkeep, less expendatures, less utilities costs, would make me a happier man. I don't want to go through what I went through, again. Or for her to be money stressed either. Because she will be.
Have a great day Pam!
