Question by Lisa S: what should I be looking for when viewing a 90 yr old house?
I am going with a realtor to see a house built in 1928 tomorrow. The roof was replaced 7 yrs ago, the current owners are carpenters at heart and have added many nice touches such as trim, and closet doors made out of cedar. Remodeled bathroom, kitchen, and bedrooms. It could still use a little tlc but only cosmetic. The house looks like the Walton’s house, it has 6 bedrooms, living rm, dining rm, 2 full baths, kitchen w/ dishwasher and a cellar. The property includes machinery barn, 2 car garage w/ woodstove, elec., and water, a small fishing pond (used to be a stock pond) all on 3.8 acres. The only problem listed on the paper work is the cellar gets wet every time it rains and a sump pump is essential. Asking price is 105,000. New homes on a lot are between 100 and 150,000 around here. What do you think? Oh and its about fifteen minutes away from shopping etc. I think it sounds great, but my boyfriend keeps saying but its an old house. And I can expect many problems with it.
Sorry I guess I should have added within last 13 years bathrooms and kitchen completely remodeled. Windows, electric, also updated. The owners are getting elderly and are moving out of state to be closer to family. Yes I would have a detailed inspection. Thanks for all the great tips I dont want to walk in there and not see any clues do to my inexperience.

Question by love to be a mommy of 2: Rotten Egg Smell in finished basement.?
Right now my husband, our two children and I are living at my mother in laws basement temporarily, However, since almost a week ago, I have been smelling a foul odor in the basement, and it hits you once you open the door, the problem is I can’t pin-point exactly where the smell is coming from. The smell is strong in the cedar closet, and the stairs, but it seems that the smell is everywhere. There is no bathroom downstairs, or sink, and I have the baby’s diaper pail empty. I have cleaned everything, almost obsessively to try to get rid of the smell. This really isn’t my house so I am not sure what else to do, can anyone help, or have any ideas as to what it could be?

I had that experience with a house I recently bought. During the inspection we noticed that there was a rotten egg odor coming from one of the drains (the basement is unfinished). If you can find out whether or not there is a drain in the basement floor that may solve your question. Sometimes the seals underneath the drains wear out and that leads to sewer gas backing up into the pipe… generally there should be a water trap in the pipe that will prevent this but that’s not always the case. If the smell is coming from an area with a drain I would call a plumber to come take a look at it.

A Look at cedar closet doors in Room decorating tips =]?

Question by sftball.sw33tie: Room decorating tips =]?
Okay im fifteen and my room looks like the models you find in furniture stores all neat and i don’t know how to explain it, but just too much like an office. It also kinda looks like a fifth grade girl puked on it haha.
The color is a light almost pastel green with shelves on opposite walls that are peach colored. (It matches my bedspread, which is actually pretty cool) I have all cedar furniture and a twin (yuck) bed. My closet takes up an entire wall, and i took the doors off (i don’t want to change that) My parents won’t be buying me any new furniture, or painting the walls anytime soon so what kinds of things can I do to make it seem more like a rroom lol.
It just seems too bright for my liking, even with the blinds shut.
I’m into sports, vintage and old things like street signs and license plate off 1950 cars lol.
And I have a TON of pictures that i don’t really know what to do with.
But I dont want all these picture frames, that goes back to the “officey” look.
I have a full length mirror,
jsyk

Any ideas would be appreciated =]
thanks in advance!

Maybe add a rug, some bean bag chairs. Hang a bulletin board to tack your pics to if you don’t want to frame them. You could add some throw pillow and throw blanket to your bed. Add some shelving to put nick knacks on…..
