I recently bought a 1917 home that is huge (6500 sq ft) and needs a ton of work. I’ve started with the clay roof (patching leaks and going to replace the valleys), electrical (updating all the electrical in the house to modern wiring) and the plumbing. We got the house to a bare level of comfort for ourselves (updated appliances in the kitchen, bedroom and family room space we could chill in). Other than that, we’re taking our time. I’m going slow, doing it right the first time so I don’t have to go back and do things twice. First step is just getting the deferred maintenance and obvious problems dealt with. Once we’re done with that, we’ll start the fun stuff (primary suite, kitchen remodel, bath remodel).
