Shit does get expensive. We just went through a total re-wire. To prep for it we had to have all the old insulation removed plus many years worth of debris in the attic space like roof shingles, wood, old duct work, etc. Then, when the electrical work was completed we had it all re-insulated. Starting next week we have a drywall/plaster guy coming in to patch up all the fuckin' holes. Next up is a new central air unit and then like Dmitry, a bathroom re-do.
