1890 for mine. 135 year old house.
Bold of you to assume I own a house
Me too, thanks.
1995 - the peak of civilization
some of you have ghosts in your houses
Our US one when we lived there: 1960s
Our Danish one now: 17… 50s? 60s? It’s hard to know
2024
New building code for rentals stipulates one room must be capable of cooling to 26c or lower. This building was built to that code.
So we have AC. It’s fantastic.
My apartment building turns 100 this year.
1861 it’s sweet except for when it’s not
When is it not sweet?
My house was built as a summer cabin 1935. Then someone added a 2nd floor on top of it 1970. It then got winter isolated (for year round living) in 2006.
In sweden, so it can be pretty cold here
- Not particularly old by European standards, but one slightly unusual feature is that it still has its original roof.
929?! Holy. Congrats
Is it in good shape?
Any pictures you would care to share?
Does it not display the initial 1 for you? I noticed the post has some weird formatting, I think the lemmy UI thinks it’s a list item or something.
It did say 929
Now it looks like this
Oh, I think I know what’s going on. It’s interpreting the number with a period on the end as a numbered/ordered list. Putting a space before the dot should fix it.
- This is an ordered list.
And fixed:
321 . And this is not.
Still weird that the number’s sticking off to the side and getting cut off. Probably depends what client you’re using. In Lemmy-UI, it’s not cut off, but the number is further left than it would otherwise be. Jerboa looks fine, but it’s clearer on Jerboa that it’s interpreting it as an ordered list.
On voyager it’s cut off bad. Missing 1.5 letters
Good thought
Remove the . At the end of the number might help
1890 here as well. I love it, it’s nestled in the woods and built into the hillside so these massive retaining walls surround the first story. With all the trees and shade and basically being underground, this makes the first floor naturally cool. I’ve gone whole summers without AC. What’s also interesting is there’s a door on the second floor landing that goes right out into the hillside. There’s like a 2 foot wide platform and then the hill. Not much up there other than a steep overgrown mountain though.
Another thing I love is being able to see the river from my front stoop. I’m still in city limits of Pittsburgh though, so I can easily walk or bike down to more of the city type stuff. Or I can bop across a bridge to a couple other towns.
I’ll definitely spend my life here, as I’m slowly remodeling the place. But of course, a house this old comes with its own slew of problems. I try to tackle as much as I can myself tho.
Unclear, but somewhere between 1865 and 1875, which makes it right around half the age of my parents’ house
My first house was in a town where the hall of records burned down in 1920. Which means that no one still around knows when anything older was actually built, butofficially everything older was built in 1920.
Somewhere between 1925 and 1932 depending on which paper you want to read.
The other house built in 1992
The one I live in now was built in the 1940s and expanded in the 2000s. The one my parents own that I grew up in partially was built in 1844.
1880, right after the Great Fire
1954
