[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of these 40s-80s are the low quality tract homes of the poors, very rarely are there any worth saving but those are probably Mansions of the wealthy of yesteryear [/quote] Pre-40s homes are solid. You can move interior walls if you want and easily upgrade the windows. Exterior real brick and interior plaster with real wood trim.[/quote] Yes. There is no particle board, drywall, or foam insulation to outgas; they are framed with hard, old-growth wood. While new houses are more insulated and energy efficient, you are also trapping in the air with outgassing that way. Older houses "breathe" more which some like.[/quote]
