RE: DIY, Scope Creep, and Looking Forward

Our house was built in 83 or 86 and we still find stuff where we wonder what the heck they were thinking. Take that first photo for example, the water lines come in from the back wall, but the drain line goes out the side wall. I had to cut a notch out of the cabinet just to make it work. We had a medicine cabinet/mirror in the upstairs bathroom that they actually cut the studs to make it fit! Best of luck to you finding a new place to live! As long as it has a garage where you can install a charger right? :)

Oh no! It's unbelievable what you find once you start opening the walls up. Our last house was built in 1923 and was actually pretty solid but my previous house was from 1940 and it was a hot mess. We discovered it was subsidized by 3M to provide housing for their workers and it was probably built way too fast.

Thanks! The search has been eye-opening to say the least. I just can't believe how expensive everything is here but we have to get out of the city. It's getting to the point where we can't even open the windows because it's so loud outside. You know me well! That Level 2 charger will be the first thing I install. Lol.
