We moved into a single family home that was built in a new neighborhood back in ~2000. There were certainly no complaints about insulation, but there were the typical issues associated with mass produced "budget" homes of that era - cheap flat builder's paint and carpet, the yard was just sod on top of gravel/concrete spillage left over from construction, and the hallway and stairs down to the basement were crooked (we found that out when trying to hang a picture - the level just did not square with the right angle of the walls and floor at all lol). There were more little obnoxious things that we found but I can't recall them all, it's been 20 years I suppose I'd chock that up to poor labor more than anything, but for most people who don't build or supervise their own homes it can lead to a sour taste in their mouths This. Phoenix area is one of the fastest growing areas in the country. Around here you can tell the quality of a new neighborhood based on cost. The cheaper, the lower the quality. You can tell when newer houses in one neighborhood are less than $150k, when every other house surrounding the new subdivision is selling for $220k+. --- https://imgur.com/23CCcZB https://imgur.com/32mwCo1 https://imgur.com/oqklqKC <cite>pres_madagascar posted [p:924980786] in PSA: Your ...
