Well Squig ;

I'm old and have been living in older houses my entire life, it's not all roses and fun let me tell you .

For one the tube and post two wire electrics in your house weren't designed to carry more than 20 watts or so plus they're ungrounded .

Then you look at the lack of insulation and poor weather sealing, this means cold in Winter, hot in Summer and drafty year 'round .

I have lots of old things in my 1923 Craftsman Bungalow (mostly millions of termites), the antique telephones have very poor sound quality no matter how much you love them (a LOT n m case) .

On and on.....

Yes, old houses can be very nice but you'd best be handy and rich .

Myself, I love the Victorian houses I lived in from the early 1950's through the mid 1970's but they're few and far between in Los Angeles unless you're very wealthy .

Just thinking of you making a nice old house good again like you're doing to this W116 makes me smile .
