Funny - my house is 98 years old and we’ve had less problems with it than my mother’s newly constructed townhouse! I wouldn’t trade my lovely Gothic farmhouse home for any of the new houses around here.
I tell her my walls are constructed with 2x4s that actually measure 2x4, lathe and plaster and hers are made out of tissue paper and spit.
It’s true about those real 2x4’s. Try putting a nail in one without drilling a pilot hole.
I love my house, but the uneven floors drive me crazy. We are working on them one room at a time.
My husband has recently gotten cancer, so it has put a stop on the refurbishing.
