question to the forum.., page-2

No doubt about it imo, and it's not just houses....

Property could be boats - some people live on them!! (before I get TOU'd!)

When our boat comes out for anti fouling, the hull is solid - strong and well built.
Went down to the shipyard yesterdeay as a mate's boat is out at hte moment, and his is the same - good strong thick hull...
Our boats are from the 80's...

The boat next to him is just a year old, and came out the water delaminating, has to be alnmost rebuilt and has a hull thickness of a quarter of an inch. Couldn't even take hitting a log in the water, let alone a rock!

The internal fittings are not made to last, and they're all flashy at face value, but no quality when you look beyond the surface......

No doubt houses are the same -
short cuts, shabby workmanship...
No pride in their work any more - the dollar is king.

Apprentices often don't want to 'learn' or the tradesmen aren't the old fashioned ones who used to teach the job properly.

Yep - I'm cheesed off with it all!!

Bring back pride and quality of workmanship!
