[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because they creak when the wind blows. I find most new houses cheaply made. [b]The materials last 5 years and need to be replaced.[/b] Older stuff just seems to last longer. Of course there has always been shoddy construction. I think houses constructed during "booms" (DC in the 1940's) were not so well built. Houses built in the 1930s however, seem to be very well built - by craftsmen who took time and cared about their work. [/quote] Such as? I live in new construction that is eight years old and the only stuff that needed to be replaced after five years is builder grade stuff, like cheap appliances--which can fail in older homes too. Please tell me which "materials" in my new home I should be replacing now. You people are very emotional about all of this stuff. At some point, your cherished older homes were brand new and "soulless" as well. [/quote]
