[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Old home lover here. I do think construction has improved, and one could in principle build a better built home now than in the past. The problem is that a great number of builders now don't use the available technology but instead rely on the cheapest possible way to mass produce homes of inferior craftsmanship than yesteryear. [/quote] Which is why a house built in 1975 isn't going to last as long as the one built in 1880. The walls in our rowhouse let in no sound and you can't punch a hole in the wall. Not much resembling Notre Dame, Sagrada Familia, St Basils, etc. The majority of new home builders use crap materials and put these things up in a few months time. The capability to build more efficient homes is there--just not frequently utilized.[/quote]
