Living in a century old home has its perks. The baseboards are high and the ceilings are higher. The windows are large, many with stained glass and come in shapes and sizes no longer made. The floors creak and our doors squeak, making any attempts to sneak up on someone impossible. We have character in every room which is necessary given the lack of decorating skills I posses. Our yard is large, as they were back in time and the trees in the neighbourhood are very mature. Air conditioning, however, is not standard issue in these old homes. Yes, it could be added, but in a home that has needed a new roof, new porch and many other minor renovations, the AC has been ignored.
