Reply to comment by widget_fucker in Why are so many of the homes dated? by needsab0uttreefiddy

I needed my retaining wall repaired—out of the six companies I called only two gave me a quote. The other four didn’t have time for me so even if people have the funds, the un-availability of labor in the state is real.

No doubt. But that doesnt answer OP’s question about why people havent updated their homes in 40 years. The labor shortage is a recent phenomenon impacting all industries.

2007 - 2017 would have been a great time to update your house or in your case, fix your retaining wall.
