Piece of advice: never, ever, ever, ever, MOTHERFUCKING EVER buy an old "fixer upper". You will regret it for the rest of your miserable time in that house.

There is one situation in which I might buy a fixer upper: if I had enough money to pay someone else to fix it up. My wife and I have lived here since August, and while it's not a fixer upper we do need to pull the old lady wallpaper down and paint, but so far we've only got 3 rooms done, and that's if you count the master bedroom and bath as two separate rooms.

Luckily, I have family/friends who owe me money or favors so I will be calling all of those in to fix up as much as possible. It's not a total fixer-upper but it's a late 60s and we will be hiring out for the important stuff (electrical, carpet, flooring etc.) Paint and wallpaper at least my brother, sister and I can do. We just may end up having lawn furniture for a few months is all.
