For the fifty plus years of it’s existence, only minimal upkeep had been done. For five or so years the owner (for 20 years) had only lived in it part time. For more than a year it had been unlived in. Talking with the owner, visual assessment, and formal inspection revealed the following:

* roof damage leading to internal wall damage
* broken asbestos floor tiles throughout with old/dirty carpeting on top in most areas
* termite evidence
* all original/drafty/rusty/semi-functional windows
* original and inefficient oil furnace and H2O heater
* original fuse box and wiring
* settling cracks and chipping/peeling paint (primer)
* old and tired appliances/toilets/sinks/tubs/faucets/fixtures
* lots of grime and cobwebs

This is gonna be a serious introduction to the world of home renovation!
