I hate renovating homes with casted iron pipes.
Late 70s n 80s homes usually have pvc.

Another topic is piere and beam..or concrete slab.

Newer wooden homes are trash , the newer hurricane proof homes in Florida are ok because they are built with blocks

New - if it's a custom build. Otherwise it's a crapshoot.

Old houses have sturdier foundations like others already said, but if it's never been updated or previous owner did a quick flip reno on it...if you ever seen 'The Money Pit' with Tom Hanks, good luck.

New build in a subdivision - a lot of em they throw that shyt up so fast with the cheapest materials out there that you'll probably start having to replace things after a few years. Check the builder's rep tho cause you can tell which ones have bad track records in your area.

fukk gentrification but gawd damn if this dude didn't just build my dream home.....took an old classic brownstone with mad charm and character and modernized it....this is how you do it



yea, that’s a beautiful house. Some of that construction can’t be matched.

new construction is ok but depends on who is building the house. A lot of shytty new construction out there. My house is brand new. I don’t think I’ll go through this shyt again.

That's fukked up.

I remember looking at houses and closing random doors to see if they would shut flush/properly. You know if they didn't give a fuk about that, then who knows what else they didn't give a shyt about.
