I've lived in two 100 plus year old Bluegrass Historic Preservation homes in Lexington Ky. Granted they were restored to certain specifications but the fundamentals are the same with any 100 year old house. Every squire inch needs something done to it.
Sure you can just move in and wing it. A 100 year old home needs it's core rebuilt. If the foundation is acceptable the house still needs it's electric/plumbing replaced and central air duct work installed behind walls that are plaster and floors that are real wood. And already in place.
Yea, you can make it "sound" for a lot less.I was thinking in terms of restoring not repairing. Kind of a dumb argument anyway when you see the bars on the windows. If those are necessary not the right place to live anyway.
But to answer your question, yea I've never restored a 100 year old home, never spent 100 on a kitchen and am pulling numbers out of my ass.
