Are you just tired of what is there? And a very important question is was the house built about the time of the Penn Square Bank failure and the oil bust? If it was I will explain your problem further. PokeyePierce 02-03-2010, 09:15 AM We've used Kregger's Floors and more twice. They do fantastic work at a reasonable price.

Please explain further, I'm curious..... rondvu 02-03-2010, 04:26 PM I know what USG '60 means. My sister and her husband live in Copper Creek in Edmond everything from the foundation to the rafters is sh sh sh T. They have had a brick gable fall on cars. Piers put in. New windows, garage door, tile and cabinet hardware. The whole house is trash. I will keep my 64 model. USG '60 02-04-2010, 12:32 PM Please explain further, I'm curious..... The oil boom created a housing boom with the predecessors of McMansions. They were growing like weeds. After Penn Square, of course, the builders had hundreds of houses started and no more potential buyers. To try to save their butts they finished the ones they had started by cutting corners in unforgivable ways. The most horrible thing they did was to use standard sheet rock for their showers and tub surrounds and particle board for kitchen counter tops. Most of my work in '83 and '84 were redoing those things in houses in Edmond. While working on one, a neighbor would sign me up. I couldn't get out of Edmond to go back working in Heritage Hills and Crown Heights, my usual haunts and much closer to home. Last year I was called in to assess a serious problem in one of Edmonds nicer McMansions (8 years old.) Things were "pulling apart" in the master bath and it looked like the slab was sinking. But I finally established that the outside brick wall was bowing out causing the problems. I soon discovered that the house had been put together with spit and school paste. Edmond will probably be slums in 20 years. It breaks my heart that that money was invested in SIZE instead of quality. And again we have our housing bust. Just plain heart-breaking. jdcf 02-11-2010, 01:21 PM bison construction 514-6557 very experienced with outstanding recommendations |
