"Character" is not all it's cracked up to be

[tamarinne]

My condo, built in the 1920's, has "character". My condo has also decided to drain my bathtub into the downstairs neighbor's bathroom ceiling, courtesy of the eighty-year-old plumbing. Other examples of my condo's Character include a catastrophic roof failure a few years ago, an inadequate electrical system, no central air, windows that rattle in every breeze, and a kitchen that will not quite hold one person.

Next time I buy a place, to hell with character. I want modern anemities, and I want them NOW.

Yeah, I've got a dishwasher, but the plumbing system is inadequate to support a washing machine. *sigh* Go back to school? Or buy a new place? I hate making decisions like this.
