A little further down in that thread there's a link to an article about Sears mail order homes. I live in a century old neighbourhood and there's a couple dozen Sears homes within a 3 block radius of me. They're still standing, still lived in, still looking good. They were built to last.
- torpfactory 8y agoI live in one of the Sears catalog homes. Still haven't figured out exactly which one, as it has had some additions and changes made in the intervening years (its a 1927). Seems well enough built. Except for the electrical - knob and tube is a crazy way to do it.
- technofiend 8y agoIt's what they had at the time. My knob and tube was installed by someone very skeptical of electricity. So they ran the hot and the neutral about two feet from each other. They only come together at the outlets and the fuse panel.
