If you replace any one component of a house, it is still the same home.
So then, if you replace every single component of your house one at a time, it is still the same house.
But then, you can take all the original house components and assemble them into a house as well.
Then you will have two simultaneously existing copies of a singular house.

i don't get it. when you put all your furniture in a different house then it is still different from your home. is that what you mean't at all?

It's a take on an old philosophy question, the ship of Theseus. I'd weigh in as a fellow Philosophy major, but it's summer and I refuse to be intellectual when I don't have to.

i red it on german to understand it. i think answers on general are collectively compiled, so this special question has been not of big importance to mankind so it is unanswered till today. there is no hope that you find the answer, only time can tell.

The cost of the components is usually higher than the cost of the sum of components, so you would double your homes, but at more than double the price.

You'd still have to pay for land to put your extra house on.

BTW, no you now have two different houses. You can have a philosophical argument over WHEN it becomes a new house, but when the last component is replaced, it is incontrovertibly NOT the original house, as there is no remaining piece of the original house. Basically, it goes from being the original house, to a refurbished house, to a completely new structure that just happens to occupy the same piece of land.
