It's been a Very cold winter here in IL. so far. Our huge house we recently acquired contract for deed has some hidden flaws that are going to create a disaster to fix, yep gotta remove some horse hair plaster walls to put in installation. Over the weekend we explored the attic, you walk up a flight of stairs through a closet that goes from one kids room to another, kinda creepy cool. Turns out every inside door is on the floor planks to be able to walk up there and the new roof is built about 5 foot or so above and old roof that still has the shingles on it and to our surprise ...charred, all burned and black. Turns out this house had a massive attic fire from bad wiring years ago, and it still has the old nob wiring up there on the floor, so now we are looking at more electrical updating. And who knows how much interior wall damage from the water to put the fire out, it sure dose explain alot though. Seems this will turn into our money pit. Seriously we have to crank the heat up to 82 just to stay warm, so we went and plasticed the windows, and put covers in front of all the four exit doors and it is still a bit chilly ,so maybe we should just plastic the entire house, amazing what a house can hide in just looking at it.
