I’ve always lived in older homes.
The first home that I owned was great, it had a pool, a big front porch and a lot of yard for my dog to run around in.
My second old home that I lived in had four stories with a lot of rooms. I didn’t mind that house but it got to the point where the area I was living in was not very safe. So I started looking at other places to live and that’s where I found the third old house that I’m living in now. I’ve had no luck with this house since I’ve moved in. I didn’t realize that my floors were rotting so I had to tear up my carpet to replace the floorboards. Not to mention the oven and refrigerator stopped working. Needless to say it has been a pretty pricey move so far. On top of everything else I found out that I need to update my electrical panel. I had an appointment with an electrician to come to my house and inspect all of the electrical outlets. Once he got to my electrical panel he saw that it was really old and outdated. He told me the best option is to modernize it. By updating the electrical panel I would avoid a potential house fire that is normally caused by dangerous connections because of old electrical panels. This is the last thing that I wanted to hear. I didn’t want to spend more money on another old house. But since I will be living here for a long time I guess I could make this house my home.
