[QUOTE="dave_shelby, post: 1764504, member: 22579"] I've got an old house built in 1896. Its a balloon frame but corners are all post and beam. Its got some termite damage but the foundation is reasonably decent. Every change or repair takes multiples of a modern equivalent. Doors are nonstandard sizes, nothing is square and every time you get into something its problems. Might be rot, termite damage, non standard framing, odd wiring, or jerry rig previous repairs. I've gutted and redone two houses without much fuss but this is another thing altogether. The other factor here is material and particularly labor now. I think both will come down with the coming recession. In my case I wanted a farm and the house had to do. I repair as I have time and money and have a place for the family to live. If your kids are contracting work out that might not work as well [/QUOTE]
