>What am I in for
Lots of work and expenses.
>and what do I need to know
If you are renovating, literally everything, you must not ever rely on contractors actually knowing what they are doing. If not renovating, then at least some hvac and electrical.

Thanks. I'm gonna do inspections and ask for a warranty before signing anything. I hope they at least replaced the roof in the last 10 years.

do everything to your home to make it however you want it by yourself.
whatever happens to the house after you die isn't your problem.

I bought a house recently and it was about 80% termites and 20% house fire.
Its been a real headache being a homeowner with the house disintegrating and burning all around me and my fat wife all the time.
The smoke from the fire and wood dust make it hard to breathe but you get use to it, its not too bad after a few weeks.
Good luck op! And thanks for not making a really general vague post!

Solid advice. Thank you.

I've been told that for the last 10 years. It should have happened by now.

Thanks and anytime. Sounds like your whore of a wife was the only good decision you made in your life. That and replying to this thread.
おめでとう
