[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]houses built 100 years ago were built to last. houses built today are garbage regardless of price bc the materials are cheap. [/quote] This is a generality that is completely untrue. Most remaining houses built 100 years ago remain because those particular houses were well built, but there was a lot of garbage built then too. I tore one down in Arlington 15 years ago - the "foundation" was a couple of brick piles, it had a leanto bathroom next to the stove, the walls were so thin you could see them bend when you pushed them. Modern codes make even cheap houses a lot more efficient and safe than older houses, but there are plenty of newer houses that aren't built cheaply. [/quote]
