Perhaps I was ripped off and I should just give up (especailly as there are liveable houses for 70K in the area). Can anyone cheer me up??
Well if you do it you'll end up with basically a brand new home done to your tastes.

I went the other way. So far I've put in heating. I'm putting in a new kitchen setup. I've got various bits of minor work to do.

My total cost will be higher then the intial purchase. It'll look less eye popping then writing the check for a new build and I can take my time.
