I have a house that is aproximately 1100 sq.ft. with 6 people living in it, and 3 others that are here when they have no where else to go. Our bathroom is ready to fall through the floor, there is lots of dry rot. The tub leaking has also damaged the bedroom wall it is on the other side of. The kitchen is also falling apart, the too small fridg is the only good thing in there.
The house was built in 1960, there was an oil furnace that was converted to gas. It was unsafe, so we removed it. We now only have a wood stove insert for heat.
The house foundation should be raised 1-2 feet, at times during the winter the sump pump does not work good enough and the floors feel damp.
The fuse box is very out dated, and I worry about eletrical fires.
The house is also about half the size it needs to be, there is no personal space at all, we are always tripping over each other.
We own a small business(we also need office space,garage too cold in winter too hot in summer) and work very hard to try to make ends meet. It does not afford us repairs and expansion, or even to sell and buy a different home, which wood be ideal.
I wood like to tear down and rebuild, or repair and expand, or relocate.
My family would greatly appreciate any help. Thank you
