Theres no way I could expect a carpenter or crew to put this level of attention into the work. You guys must pay a huge premium for guys.

Looks like a lot of work. Really would be a better build and easier to have knocked it down and built it new. Everything would flow better and all that wasted effort and space covering up the fireplace with shelving/cabinets would be saved. I used to like the idea of "saving" old houses because i thought that they were built "better" or something like that. Now that I have seen how awesome new houses can be built I would never keep an old house over a new one.

It's a Brown Stone. Party walls on both sides and other occupants on the floors above. Tearing down was not an option.

@JOIHIINI Жыл бұрын

Key phrase is "can be built". Standard building practice in even a steel workers home 100 years ago was triple brick construction on a 2 foot thick foundation vs. Now where it's framing with brick veneer, half of these homes were built so well they literally don't even have footings and they stand today. Maybe a custom builder home where extra costs are spent specifically for longevity of the structure, but if you're talking the standard development for the average homeowner that's nonsense. Not to mention solid doors and baseboards hand coped, plaster crown mouldings and overall quality of craftsmanship. Caulking replaced skill and I beams replaced 12 inch joists. So by built better you must not mean structurally or quality of materials....

@@JOIHIINI ..I am comparing to Matt Rissinger's personal home that he built and put on his youtube channel. Far better quality and much nicer looking. The truth is, today's materials are better, stronger, better looking and longer lasting. You can't compare engineered lumber to natural beams. The engineered beams are stronger, longer, straighter and better. Ditto for concrete, level 5 drywall vs plaster etc. I got sucked into the "older is better" nonsense util I saw properly built new homes. If it is the style you prefer, newly built Georgians are better than older ones. Take a look at the interior of Matt's house and the wood trim details. Just amazing. The floors, real hardwood that can be sanded, and engineered too, are far better than the quarter sawn old white oak floors. Really, there is no doubt about it. Plus much more livable in a new home. Better temp control, less dust, no bugs and probably cheaper.

@ColeenWest2000 my point was more centered around the average builder grade home 100-150 years ago vs today. Like I said, "can be built". I don't disagree with you, what I'm saying is that what I see in the majority of homes built by large developers for the masses are shortcuts and cost cutting in sacrifice of quality. For example things like kitex plumbing, that was supposed to be a technological advance yet 20 years later its failing. I agree that custom quality builds such as this are indeed better, but I wouldn't go as far as to say under a blanket statement that new homes are built better that's all I was getting at. Mass production while following building code minimums is what i see where I live. (Ontario).
