There are legitimately some challenges to living in an older home.
I thought I was saving currency when I purchased this old place, after all, it was a lot less fancy than some of the newer houses.
But now I am not so sure that it was a nice bargain. Some of the floors are a little saggy and need to be updated, the cupboards in the family room need modern hinges, and some of the electrical outlets do not work at all. However, the worst thing about this old place is the heating and cooling system. I do not expect that the boiler or air conditioner have been updated in a few decades; Every time I turn on the boiler the entire home smells like something is on fire and I do not feel safe turning it on until I get an HVAC worker out here to take a look at it. I am pretty sure that I am going to have to have the whole boiler and air conditioner updated but I do not want to do any more harm by turning them on again. Thankfully, I have an appointment for a local HVAC business to come out and take a look on Tuesday. I hope it will not be too fancy and they can just fix the existing system. Is that too much to hope for? Whatever the case, I need to get my heating and cooling systems fixed ASAP. After that, I can worry about my sagging floors and hanging lodgeet doors. This is my home now, no matter what, and I want to take nice care of it.
