If you are remodeling your older home, pay attention to the structure of the shear wall. If you are in California, it must meet the building code to withstand earthquakes. Unfortunately some tract home builders did not follow the building code but still managed to pass the inspection. This video shows the real violations as well as how to fix them. Be sure to check your older home to see if it is earthquake proof.
