[quote=Anonymous]We’ve spent a lot on our 100 yr old home. Are there regrets....yes! However we love our location and we forget we have a fully furnished attic with two rooms. We are not rich and we are constantly upgrading... for example we had a $700 a month heating oil bill and our water heater just blew...so we spent $14k on a HE gas boiler that should pay for itself in 5 yrs. unfortunately we just put in 3 mini splits for the same price. Knowing what I know now, we would have gotten central air/heat for the same price. Today, the roof is leaking and we need a re-pipe. We don’t expect to get our money back, but we are comfortable. My last house I upgraded so much that everything was new when we sold and I took a loss. The same will happen, but I consider this place home...so yeah I’m going under the crawl space this weekend to insulate the floors....yeah I’m doing repairs all the time, but I’ll hit a point where these old bones will have new clothes.[/quote]
