One would hope, that with the slowdown of the economy, the crap will be weeded out a bit.
WHen I was in the process of buying my home both my dad and my real estate agent told me to stay the hell away from anything built between 2003 and 2007. WHen I told that to my buddy (a contractor in Northern Alberta) he echoed the statement because he built some houses here for some companies when he was first starting out (working for someone else) he says some of the corners cut were brutal and if he could go back in time he would have walked off the job site.
