That's 75 years old with asbestos throughout that I won't find until after we're dying of mesothelioma or needs 20k worth of work or the bedroom ceilings are those slanted ones that anyone over 5'10 can't stand up in or the lot is sinking or there's not enough windows/facing wrong way or there's no shower (!!!) or the kitchen has half a counter and no room for more or there's no entryway so no room to put shoes and coats or blah blah blah. And there's no way in hell I'm building/designing a house, at least not right now. It would be double the price and 100 times the work.

There'd be quadruple the choice if we didn't mind driving everywhere. Guess I'm just picky.

or because you live in the capital. because for 150k you can get a very nice house in any moncton suburb. not huge, but a nice modest place.

you're supposed to get places inspected before buying/selling them so mold and asbestos shouldn't be an issue
