Would you guys mind pitching in here a bit?

My house was built in 1945, by 1945 standards. The front used to be a porch but was closed in long before I bought. But no foundation was laid for it. There has never been much of a load on it but it does seem to be rotting out.

So I am having it checked but to fix it could be enormously expensive. More than I bought the house for in fact. I'm 55 out of debt, but close enough to retirement to not want to incur anymore mortgage type debt.

Selling the house as is , is out of the question. Leaving it be till I die is very risky. It might not last. Spending that kind of cash is REALLY going to hurt my retiremment.

What would you do?

TIA, *sigh*
