Why Won't You Maintain Your House?
As people become more health-conscious and understand
that they need to eat the proper foods and get a certain amount of
exercise on a daily basis, people are starting to live longer. If you
regularly change the fluids in your vehicle, they seem to last longer
and have fewer problems. So obviously it makes sense to maintain
anything that you want to last a long time.
Obviously this makes sense to most people, yet very few people choose to
maintain their home on a regular basis. Some homeowners paint their
homes every five years, whether they need it or not, while others only
paint their house when it becomes an eyesore to the neighborhood.
If you've been in the construction business as long as I have, you know
the answer to this question,” Why won't you maintain your house?” I
would imagine that 90% of all homeowners who don't maintain their house
on a regular basis avoid it, because of financial difficulties.
These people really don't have the money to spend on their house. Their
home doesn't seem to be as big of a priority as surviving. There are
millions of people all over the United States who barely have enough
money to live on. If I had to choose between eating or painting your
house, the house obviously wouldn't get painted.
The biggest problem with this eventually as that the house will start to
deteriorate beyond repair. Some of these homes will need to be tore down
and this only adds to our local landfills. I understand that some of
these people can't do some of the home repairs, but the ones that you
can do, you should try to do.
