my house 1955 houso place so near 70 yo, couple cracks, can see how they happened re windows in wrong spots/ leaking gutters/subsidence , look way worse 12 mths after buying but yeah.

It had No insulation in ceiling . Barely believable.

done now. cost me SFA. under 1000

got another rc split , so 2 now.  got shades onwindows for summer

dont really need much else. 

ok secure yard, more secure doors and windows, some sort of shade and garden out back /spa/pool and some roof vents for summer

oh, had pot belly stove put in. that was a process. But done now.

..Sitting pretty Mr. 

Here's some suggestions

• dont sell car
• get place for under $250k

get yourself a Hayabusa as a reward after you get house ...
