[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think of it as an older house (think 90-100 year old DC row houses)>>they are solid brick on four sides, I think they could withstand any natural disaster...so very good bones. But don't get started on the plumbing![/quote] Just some verbiage to make folks think older homes are built better. Nonesense, just used home salesman putting lipstick on a pig Laughed at you 4 brick walls and natural disaster. You know masonry is quite brittle and terrible in an earthquake? http://www.iitk.ac.in/nicee/EQTips/EQTip12.pdf Any ways, old homes had much more lax codes, etc, lead paint, asbestos, drafty. Oh, but they used solid timber rather than fire resistant engineers lumber, so good bones. This should go under the MRIS ridiculousness thread. [/quote]
