I can support your comments.  Best built home ever purchased: late 1940s stucco bungalow--can you picture it?  French leaded-glass doors between livingroom, diningroom, into hallway; cove ceilings and lovely hardwood floors.  Built very solidly.  Worst-built home ever purchased: a s***-box rancher built in the early 1970s.  New roof, two new bathrooms, floor and wall modifications to provide better kitchen-family room--before 1986.  Grrr.
