If you are a handy carpenter/plumber/electrician type of guy, the house could be a bargain that is too good to pass up. If you aren’t and don’t have trusted friends who can help and do quality work, run the other way. Spend some time watching educational TV’s “This Old House” and you'll get some perspective on what goes into making an old house comfortable for modren living.
thanks man for the info by the looks of the outside it has a chimney stack but dont know if its still funtional, will find out more this afternoon. since im cutting wood that would be a great idea to save on the bills especially gas.
used to watch "this old house" alot lol lots of good info on that show. i can do electrical work but get kinda skeered of it. dont know why tho . guess from seeing a guy get zapped by 440 is what made me weary lol.
