The wife and I are planning on moving sometime next year. We're on the tail end of the whole child-raising thing(Yippee!!
) We've lived in this cracker-box manufactured home for 14 years now, and feel we've more than paid our dues. Time to buy a real house.
So, my question. We're seriously looking to buy an old home. Something built before 1950, preferrably in the 1920-1940 range. We're mostly looking at brick homes, which I'm hoping will eliminate at least some of the problems and maintenance(wishful thinking?). I was wondering if any of ya'll have now, or have in the past, owned a home like that, and what kind of "fun" you had with it. Did it turn into just an endless money pit? Was it worth it, ect, ect.
