Well you either knew how to build homes or you did not. These homes in
the Texas area still look relatively good. You seldom see any
indication of foundation problems or cracks in the brick. I have
probably helped to repaint the interiors of a dozen of these homes and
they still look great, no cracks in the sheet rock.

That would explain why I see Nolan Ryan pitching Olshan foundation
repair every time I turn on the tube.
Actually, foundation failures are very common in the Houston area.

My in-laws built houses in Houston. Once one of them said they
were going to just build houses with the slab already cracked and
design around it.

Nice pictures. Musta been a lot of indians there that forgot
their paintbrushes.


It now takes me all day long to do
what I used to do all day long.
