Franklin Factor

1970s–90s split levels and center hall Colonials still have compartmentalized rooms.

Many homes rely on oil or electric baseboard heat.

Walk out basements on sloped lots beg to become playrooms or in-law suites.

Frequent freeze, thaw wrecks pressure treated decks and fence posts.
