I was thinking of tearing it down and putting up the modular home, but my wife is absolutly in love with the old farm house. I have an appt. saturday with my contractor to come out and inspect the dwelling to see if it's really worth saving. for heating both of the furnaces are still in the basement, and with some elbow grease they could probably be hooked back up. i'll haev 200 amp service brought into the house and have clp hook up to the panel and take over from there. we're going to spend an entire week cleaning before the work begins. get some stainkill in 55 gallon drums tape/mask everything and just blow the entire house white. clean pallette for the fresh stuff. i'll know alot better after the insp, i'll get a lot of pics also.

There's already a wood stove in the back of the house, and a fireplace in the front. I'm thinking a big buck insert for the fireplace in the living room. The repairs to the chimney aren't going to be too bad, it's mostly just resetting soem of the bricks with new mortar.

Ok, so you need to give us an address, and a schedule of when you will be out there. Else all we will be able to do is read about the work you are doing.

Haven't even bought the houe yet. I have a figure in mind for making an offer, Saturday is when my contractor is going to inspect the house for me and let me know what all the costs are going to be. Then hopefully Monday we can make our offer.
