It seems like all of our money goes to house repairs as well. Good luck! Janie I know what you mean about living in an old house. It seems like all of our money goes to house repairs as well.

It was super cheap, but it was a very, very old house. Was there any insulation? Probably not. Our landlord replaced a big window before we moved in, mainly because its one of the few things he could do without tearing the house apart to insulate it. It's a necisity, and as you said, your new roommates are newlyweds. It might seem like you are spending a lot, but only $100 to insulate a wall? That is unheard of! You are extremely lucky that you didn't have to pay a contractor to do the work. I rented a house two years ago with three roommates. It was super cheap, but it was a very, very old house.

Not only do you save money, you don't have to make a bet on a contractor who may or may not do a good job, show up, etc. And I hear you on the insulation. I used to live in an apartment that was the first floor of a 90 year-old house... The only "insulation" it had was a double wall for the exterior with nothing but air between. And I live in Boston. The winters were COLD. When I moved to my condo with modern insulation, my heating bills dropped by two thirds even though I gained more space. You ARE lucky your husband can do this work himself!!

It's so important to be prepared for them though. Insulation is a great investment! Yes, it always seems that unexpected expenses eat through my cash.
