I guess that they made houses better back then. But, my point wasn't that my house was that old, just needed some repairs. And, I suspect that you would be as appalled at finding your back porch replaced by a pool of black water.

Oh of course! It would be awful! I wasn't trying to detract at all from the seriousness of that incident [img]smile.gif[/img] My apartment was built in 1975 and had a leaking roof recently, I can appreciate how it feels!
Most of the houses in London need work doing to them, I'm probably gonna be buying a victorian house soon. I have been in some that are lopsided due to structural problems like a crazy house at a fair (obviously I won't buy one like that!)
