[quote=Anonymous]I’ve never understood why we just accept these cheap, flimsy construction in this country. It’s not just houses, our first apartment in this country was in King Farm, and I could not believe how badly those units were put together. Zero soundproofing between units, no concrete between floors or walks. Just cheap plywood. We could hear everything the neighbors upstairs were doing. If you go to supposedly poorer countries in Europe, they are still building solid houses using bricks. The houses might not be as big, but they are solid. Don’t get me started on cheap roofing materials either. It seems like we are the only country that has an entire industry for replacing shingles on roofs every 10 years. Just put roofing tiles on once and they are good, forever.[/quote]
