Our house was built in 1965. We bought it 9 years ago. Still had the original light fixtures. And some of the original plumbing fixtures. At some point, both bathroom floors were upgraded. Siding was added and a new roof installed.
Replaced the water heater, water softener, all the light fixtures, all the faucets, all the flooring, front door, back door, garage door opener, and countertops(raised to make room for dishwasher).
Replaced the AC condenser three years ago and will replace the 15(?) year old furnace/A coil next week(cracked heat exchanger).
Have painted the kitchen cabs---original to house and in better condition than new crap. Took out the old(original) pergola and built a new patio cover(translucent plastic roofing panels).
Several more things on the list, mostly small stuff now. Roof should last 5+ years more.
Figure about the time I get everything done, it will be time to start over---or I croak.
