But don’t ever think ‘old’ means ‘well built and solid’. My split level house, built in 1966 moans a little in very high winds. The reason: At that time the lower cost sheeting allowed for the walls wasn’t plywood or chipboard, it was a thick cardboard like product. No rigidity after all this time. And the stairs going upstairs and to the basement - every step is loud and creeky. When I had the roof replaced, I had to pay an extra $20k because, surprise!, the 1/2” plywood was all delaminating (the glue had turned to powder) and the entire roof had to be removed and replaced with new plywood.
