Back in February of 2012 my wife and I decided to purchase small home in Pottsville, PA. We were not looking for something that was going to put us into to much debt and would need to be large enough for our family.
We found this little gem of a house located in the city of Pottsville, PA about 2 blocks from the Yuengling Brewery at the end of 2011. Its a decent 5 bedroom, 1 1/2 bath, with a fenced yard and large windows. It also shared some charm from its original use as a home built back in 1900. That's right this home is over 100 years old.
For me the house had the most important features that I look for when hoping to buy. Sturdy walls, roof, and solid floors. Let me be clear here that the wood paneling and drop ceiling were not something that I look for in a house. To me these things are used to cover up bad work or something much worse.
I did happen to sneak a few peaks at the ceiling above and noticed that someone had already pulled down the plaster ceiling and lathe that was up there. Hoping that this was done throughout the house I was saddened to see that the plaster was still on the walls.
After much thought we decided to purchase the house and move into it and do the renovation ourselves.
