It Was Built In The 1970s

This is the outline for a Toastmasters speech that I gave about homes that were built in the 1970s

• asked about has house always been this way; looks like two houses that were put together based on framing
• hot water tank installed the wrong way in attic; have to crawl or squat to adjust the controls
• outlet did not work; aluminum wire connected directly to copper during renovation
• roof line on back matches, not on front

• insulation not staying in knee walls because there's no back; excess heat and cold into living space

• older houses are typcially built better; wood was different

• they do have some things that aren't allowed now, but were the norm back then
• houses during that time, weren't cookie cutter; builders were more creative
