My neighbour's deck in a brand new SE Calgary home. I'm not a carpenter, but... yikes...
@greg_scott84 @BifferAb Honestly, I would not be buying any home built after 2015, maybe even earlier. The amount of bad construction I have seen in newer homes is horrifying. Calgary is full of disasters waiting to happen.
@MamaFedup @greg_scott84 @BifferAb I just moved from a 1997 house to a 2008 house, and though the newer house is nicer cosmetically, the insulation is sub par, noise travels farther and doesn't retain heat as much. huge gaps around the window frames too. pre-2000 seems like a better deal.
@MamaFedup @greg_scott84 @BifferAb After the hurricane last year, basically everything built after 2010 lost its roof and had the worst of the damage.
@MamaFedup @greg_scott84 @BifferAb We have a 1948 home with original lathe and plaster arches..small home that can't compare. I wouldn't remodel the space due to the quality build...
