[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] It's easier to tear down and put up an energy efficient, sealed house than to fix up an old one.[/quote] It takes less labor to tear down and rebuild, so it's cheaper for the builder. It's much less efficient in terms of energy and materials. The McMansions are built in a way that barely meets code, so they'll be easy to tear down in twenty years or so, if we still have lumber left.[/quote] I am really impressed when some key is seamlessly able to add an addition or expand while keeping with the character of the original house and neighborhood. I hate to see a nice old house completely bulldozed,, but I also hate cheap plastic surgery on older women. It's not keeping with the time period of the structure.[/quote]
