In Reply to: House was built in 1921. posted by ghost of olddude55 on August 2, 2020 at 03:56:10:
Thank goodness is all I can say!
My current house was built in 1918-1920.
I had another one built 1905-1910.
At least this one has cavity walls and real cement.
The fist one was bonded brick and mortar.
Either way, the people that wish for old fashioned building quality need to wake up.
Not enough bearers and joists, not enough piers, no ant caps, no damp course. Spirit levels? Meh ;-(
I've seen plenty of dodgy in houses built in the "good old days"!!
