Proprietor Jack Garber has been a consistent LPNH supporter and is a fantastic guy to speak with if you're looking for real estate in New Hampshire.
Home Buyer: I want a house built after 1980.
Me: Actually, you don't.
Let me explain.
Newer isn't always better, and this picture sums it up pretty well. The quality of modern lumber is simply far inferior to the quality of lumber they were using to build homes in the early and mid-20th century. Wood quality began dropping on a serious scale in the 1980s due to old-growth timber being almost completely depleted.
Most wood used today is grown very fast - not only can you visibly see the difference in quality, but the newer lumber is more prone to rotting due to a lack of heartwood. Slow growth wood yields much more heartwood, which is the longest lasting part of the tree, whereas sap wood (new growth wood) will rot very quickly. Modern lumber is also a lot more prone to termite damage as it is softer and easier to consume whereas old lumber is extremely resinous and naturally termite resistant. A good rule - as long as the plumbing and electric has been updated, a well-built home from the mid-20th century is a better investment and will likely outlast a newer build.
🚨 HE PAID $400,000 FOR A “BRAND NEW” HOME — THEN SEES WHAT’S HIDING BEHIND THE WALLS
He starts recording and shows what’s about to be sealed behind drywall forever.
Gaps in a load-bearing wall.
Nails blown straight through studs.
Crooked cuts.
Splitting pressure-treated lumber.
Metal brackets barely seated.
“This why you gotta come EVERY SINGLE DAY.”
Because once insulation and drywall go up?
You will NEVER see this again.
Inspection signs off.
Builder cashes out.
You’re locked into a 30-year mortgage.
How the hell does this pass inspection?
