[QUOTE="david04, post: 1421646, member: 15134"] Built in 1928 no doubt means all plaster walls, means it's hard to hang things and hard to repair, but curves can be achieved easier in plaster. Just take a look at the a/C, furnace, water heater, etc and see how old they look. Look at the windows, see if they are recent double pane windows or old ones with multiple layers of paint (you know what I mean, I'm sure) Roof is also very important on ANY home you buy. wiring of course needs to be checked out. Make sure it has no aluminum wire. I used to have a home built in 1930. Every time I had to repair something, I'd take the broken part to Home Depot to replace it, and they'd say "Oh, they don't make them like this anymore." kind of a hassle. Small bedroom, kitchen and bath, too. We got that old-house fever pretty much out of our system when we were young! So, where's the one you're looking at? [/QUOTE]
