All I am seeing here, is the insane yearly cost of recurring maintenance on an old wooden house...*shudders*

It's really not that bad except the paint job every 10-20 years which costs as much as a new car, but back in the day they had oil paint which didn't peel like latex does. Still, imo, worth it to live in an historic, unique, drag queen of a home.

As someone with an old wooden house, it's actually not bad. They're built so damn well that they just.. stay there.

The expensive part is if you need to do any renovations. Updating electrical, plumbing, and HVAC sucks.
