    We are looking at long term residence of 40+ years from today. I’d rather buy something that lasts and can be passed on – or at least lived in for many years after we pass away… (if there is such a thing here anymore).[/quote]

    All else being equal, a brand new house is best in my opinion. Of course, you may have to compromise on location.

    A brand new house will give you at least 10 years of maintenance free living.

    I just fixed my dad’s sink drain. Took me a couple hours and two trips to the hardware store for parts. What a pain!

    I hate house maintenance. There are better things to do with your time.

    That looks interesting brian. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before. It merits further research.

    I tend to prefer copper.. but if I was in an area subject to freezing, I would consider PEX. There are many things that you have to watch out for in PEX installations.
