Which just goes towards proving the tech support opinion that houses are like computers.......
Some people are just too damn stupid to own them.

Don't the Habitat home applicants have to agree to a set of conditions, one of which is a seminar on home maintenance? If so, decay would seem to be a matter of will rather than skill.

That's what happens when particle board and wafer board are used in house construction. I can't imagine why a lot of codes allow the damned stuff - the second it gets moist, it's done for.

I'm amazed how a cockroach lives in the Mojave Desert, but they do. More than you can imagine. Don't feed them concrete.

Yeah, and I'm sure the inspector doesn't ever get pressure to approve shoddy construction just to meet the show's shooting schedule.
That sounds about as ill-thought-out as the decision by some local governments in Florida to allow developers to hire their own inspectors, in order to save themselves time and the gov't money. I wouldn't touch a house that passed inspection by the same company that built it. Talk about a conflict of interest.

Especially since most of the 'professional builders' have been using unskilled laborers to save themselves money while building shoddy homes. Heck, a lot of the folks who've been building homes never lived in houses with electricity or running water before coming to the US, much less ever built them before. Hence all the product-defect class action suits being filed against major homebuilders in the past few years.

You buy cars and TVs that way- furniture and appliances too. Even much of your FOOD is inpected by inspectors employed by the packing company.

You make it sound like municipal inspectors were actually looking at anything. During the boom they were leaving the office with 30-40 inspections a day, spread out over a 40 mile long territory. Believe me, they didn't do much real inspecting. They looked at the "thing of the day" and moved on.
