For the love of old houses

I love old houses.  It's true they don't build 'em like they used too.  And while, my house is super sturdy (80 years old and no structural issues), was custom built (read-my neighbors house is not just my floor plan reversed), and wastes not one square foot of space, there are a few things that new houses do better--

like bathrooms (our one bathroom gives new meaning to the phrase "water closet"),

closets (we have 2 tiny, tiny closets)

electrical outlets (originally, 1 per room.  Who needs more?)

and insulation (what's that?)

We've been making upgrading as things break or the bank account allows, and we've come to a point where we're looking into the cost of insulation.  The challenge will be finding something that can be installed without gutting the house to the studs (I just don't think I'm up for that kind of demolition) that is reasonably eco-friendly.  We've had our trusty builder, Phillip Graham, out to work up an estimate.  Then we'll see which pieces of it we can afford!
