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]

Right! And when your home has survived 30, 40, 50 years from now we'll all say, " what a lovely old home. So charming!"
Now- it's a lovely new home. Just not as interesting to people who Cherish older homes. You don't have to feel bad about that. 
We are not emotional about your new house. That is exactly the point.[/quote]
