The others have covered the facts of old houses. I am in a house where the first two rooms were built in the late 1800's and then added onto a few times later and a partial basement too. My walls are showing more cracks all of the time and the floor over the basement has a hump in the middle. The original foundation only has a couple of limestone rocks here and there.

When the salesman asks me if I am interested in new windows I tell him "Yes, and they will have a new house around them!"
