I love ranches, and that one has been made more open than the typical ranch, which makes it even easier to navigate.
As smonster says, asbestos is a lot safer undisturbed. Armstrong and some other companies make some attractive ceiling tiles that can go right over popcorn, if you want it to disappear later. It is probably worth having it tested, so you'll know to be careful if something damages the ceiling. It's widely loathed, so you can also cite it as a reason for a lower price.
Having a new electrical box is great, particularly if they also grounded the outlets. What you should check is whether it has aluminum wiring, which was common in '71. If it's been wired to copper at any point, it's a fire hazard.

Yay for not smoking! I will continue to refrain from describing my father's last years with emphysema.

Thanks!! I did it cold turkey! I am currently filling the void with a delicious blueberry vanilla chevre and pita bite crackers from TJs.
Two bits of good news on the house. There are hardwoods under all the bedroom rugs and there is insulation in the garage, which means that we can heat that area to put a washer and dryer in there. There are already hot and cold water taps in the garage.

It's snowing here in CT. Scared of the commute.
Good luck Vortex. Leave early.
Yay Aims! It will get easier, I promise.
It's just raining here, Vortex. I'm afraid it will freeze overnight though. I'd rather have the snow.
sj, cute house. Listen to Ginger, for she is wise in the ways of house-buying.
askye, I am so sorry. Much peace and strength to all of you, but especially your brother. I can't even imagine what he's feeling right now.
