I cherish ancient homes, however ever since I was a little child I have definitely loved ancient homes… I grew up always going to my Grandparent’s house that was a historic house and when my parents retired they also bought a historic home, and so, I guess it was just in my DNA to get a historic house of my own one afternoon… There is a lot of work that goes into preserving an older home.
There are codes you have to follow and inspections you have to have if you want to do any major house major house improvement projects, and one thing that you have to keep in mind when purchasing a historic house is the heating and cooling system… Most historic homes have the original heating and cooling system installed and for the most part you definitely can’t make any major substitutes to the heating and cooling system. Something I didn’t know when purchasing an older house is that they were not normally built with HVAC duct and you absolutely can’t rip up part of the house inorder to have them installed. I know that it is going to be a lot of work, although I am definitely gleeful to own a historic house one afternoon. I will just have to find an Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C company that specializes in heating and cooling in historic homes. I know it will be high-priced, although I guess it will be worth it!
