[QUOTE="wawazat, post: 3831555, member: 35603"] Our house was a brand new custom build we moved into 2 years ago and it is CONSTANT. Of course our builder and the trades she used were absolute garbage, so it isn't a surprise at this point. As early as probably 6-7 months before we moved in, we started spending a minimum of 10-15 hours a week trying to rectify framing, flooring, insulation, electrical, low voltage, whatever issues as the build was going. We still have to redo all of the decking in the attic, repaint some of the trim and doors, add additional material to the bottoms of interior doors, for gaps over 1" even though we have returns in every room, relocating thermostats for accurate control, etc, etc. I've never felt any value in home ownership, but its important to the family. It is what it is, but I have found new combinations of swear words as I think about the legal battle with the builder while we are also working our tails off to try and get this thing as close to what we paid for as possible.
