[QUOTE="wawazat, post: 3832115, member: 35603"] Its a heck of a lot easier to get it right the first time. That was one of the last discussions I had with our builder before she blocked my number. Our trim carpenters were not skilled craftsmen. Ive never seen someone install an interior door frame without the door hung, and the incredibly uneven and excessive gaps around every single door is evidence why. So I am going over that part with the builder and she reminds me theyve been trim carpenters for over 25 years. I reminded her there could be a lube tech at Wal-Mart for 25 years, it doesnt make him good at what he does. I also let her know I expect someone to tell me they dont have the time or skills to do something correctly, because I dont have the time or patience to tear it out and do it right nor the money to pay someone else to redo it. That was the last she spoke to me directly, everything after that went through my wife unless I had to get in her ass for not listening to my wife's requests. Our attorney provided her and her attorney the walk through with our final check list. We still have an "indoor water feature" in our garage every time we get heavy rain from the NNW. gallons of water leak in, run under the 2nd story floor to the middle of the garage and dump drywall debris on our floors, cars, etc. Been that way since before we moved in with a couple more leaks showing up in the past 12 months.
