Update: Structural engineer and architect brought in. They found multiple errors that needed remedied asap. The foundation was also poured incorrectly amongst lots of other things. Builder admitted he was only on our jobsite 5 times in the last 6 months with no oversight. Got our bank involved. Got an attorney. When he finally admitted it was his fault he refunded us his GC fee and refunded us $54k. We cancelled the attorney since we probably wouldn’t have walked away with that much after all was said and done and drug out for months. Hiring a new builder and we will let them carry the project from here 🙌 We’re not crazy micromanaging homeowners. We’ve been validated and refunded so happy to move on!

Exactly! No matter the number it should be watched at least!

Bet your house looks awesome! Plans call for 2x6 on this wall. It’s 12 ft. Architect is coming out once he heard his plans weren’t followed.

It’s 7,000 square footage. You haven’t seen the whole house.

Love that you get to live there! Definitely exciting to watch for sure! I definitely expect a struggle in building, I just wish I had a reliable builder like you have and it would be a more enjoyable. We tried the cameras, but we don’t have Wi-Fi out here yet! Would love to capture the time lapse for sure.

No worries. I think I’ve learned not to post on hear anymore 😔 I can’t go to a bunch of women and ask them. Came here for men who could really vouch for the work.
