Since buying this house in 2021, we’ve repaved the driveway, installed sump pumps in the basement, replaced the boilers, and now we’re replacing the chimney. Roof is next. Then maybe mini-splits. It’s a money pit, as they say.

Born and raised in Westford, VT. Hartford now.

This is so much different than in Europe. It was a shock for us when we first moved here. No offense but in the US, houses are built like crap. Probably because most people want big and cheap houses (so quality is sacrificed). In EU, houses are smaller but they require a lot less work / maintenance 👀

I believe it! The crazy thing is our house is over 100 years old (ancient by American standards) so it’s built better than most. Generally newer houses are built worse!
