There are certainly some challenges to living in an older home.
I thought I was saving money when I purchased this seasoned locale, and after all, it was a lot less extravagant than some of the newer houses.
But now I am not so sure that it was a great bargain. Some of the floors are a little saggy & need to be replaced, the cupboards in the study room need new hinges, & some of the electrical outlets don’t work at all. However, the worst thing about this seasoned locale is the heating & cooling system. I don’t expect that the furnace or air conditioner have been replaced in a few decades, however every time I turn on the boiler the entire condo stinks like something is on fire & I don’t feel safe turning it on until I get an Heating, Ventilation, & A/C worker out here to take a look at it. I am pretty sure that I am going to have to have the whole boiler & air conditioner replaced although I don’t want to do any more harm by turning them on again. Thankfully, I have an appointment for a local Heating, Ventilation, & A/C dealer to come out & take a look on Sunday. I hope it will not be too extravagant & they can just service the existing system. Is that too much to hope for? Whatever the case, I need to get my heating & cooling systems fixed ASAP. After that, I can worry about my sagging floors & hanging cupboard doors. This is my condo now, no matter what, & I want to take great care of it.
