Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
They live in old Victorians with red brick foundations— cellars of stagnant air, perfumed by decades of dust. In side-gabled Tudors with concrete wrapped porches that sink from the home’s fascia— cracks in the stoop. In Craftsmen, in Queen Annes, in mid-century moderns. In stone-façade, single-level ranches— mortar crumbling from joints.
Split level contemporaries with differential settlement. Asymmetrical Mansards with penicillium on the joists. Modern internationals, “The windows won’t open.” Deeply ornamented Chateauesques, “See, all the doors stick.”They’re renting. They’re buying. They inherited it outright. They’ve lived there forever. They sell in three days. “Depending on what you tell me,” they tell me. “Depending on what you say.” I mainly work in crawl spaces. I inspect bad foundations.
