I love old houses! but, like my dad said when he bought our 200 year old country house....it is a 20 year sentence of hard labor! we had virtually NO wiring, only in a couple rooms, of course that had to be striped out....NO plumbing, we used the outhouse for a year, all the local kids made fun of us, lol....and NO heat but the 2 main fireplaces....but it was a real untouched beauty of Victoriana and early American building....dad paid $6,000 for it in the early 1960's, on an acre with a 300 year old barn....what a joy it was! I still miss it! ....you really need to get your wiring updated...bit at a time, but it will be worthwhile...enjoy your house, and greenhouses!
