Why? You could recycle the rock or brick from a Roman building and make a new one. They built really good stuff, it's just that this whole empire thing went to their heads.

That case was in the high five digits. For most people on fixed income that is a whole lotta money. Tile all cracked, of course discontinued years ago, bathtub hosed, and so on. That bathroom had to be completely gutted and built up from scratch. After the structural stuff was repaired, of course, and that cost extra.
Last time I needed a bathroom gut-and-redo I got bids and almost froze. Took three weeks off and did it myself. It is next to impossible for an engineer to make this much money in three weeks after taxes.

The only way was to open the windows and then it got cold very fast. Man needs a certain amount of oxygen to remain productive.
We actually have that. Thus no rot on those.
I remember the wood frame windows we had at our previous house (got rid of those and had metal-core ones put in). Or the ones at my student quarters. You had to be on the ladder regularly. The usual, peel, scrape, sand, cough your lungs out, prime, paint. Then if you are super lucky one of them decides to warp a little and now you have a real restore job on your hands. I have better things to do :-)
