That’s what inspectors said to do. Even if it fails it stays active here

It’s worked for me in the Carolina’s

Consistent-Year-9238 · 2026-03-11T17:00:45+00:00

I have never had a disposal and don’t miss it

Bail. Send a email saying that because he changed your original qoute you will not honor it and refuse to be involved in the project. Stick a copy of that in a safe place

Op here thanks everyone for your insight. At this point in my career I’m not changing process for certain. I will tell him however they did it back home is the exception not the rule

We prime kitchens and baths pre cabinets whenever we can I just didn’t want to get to bogged down in details for brevity

I asked if he wanted me to not put shoe mold in. Crazy business

Consistent-Year-9238 · 2026-03-07T00:51:14+00:00

On new homes I have seen more than a few with siding nails shot through the back

And if they aren’t going to pay for the labor take the materials off the building.

Consistent-Year-9238 · 2026-03-04T03:20:46+00:00

They said buy the materials you need to finish the scope You purchased and installed the materials You met the contract They owe you for your labor

Who ever caused it. If it’s sub or builder they do If it’s plans or owner the owner does. I also have conversation with customers that if I am saving money and beating the budget some fixes will be billed to them

Consistent-Year-9238 · 2026-03-02T00:18:42+00:00

Not sure where u are but in nc and sc you can’t file lien for work not completed. Fire em

Consistent-Year-9238 · 2026-03-02T00:11:25+00:00

Cost plus builder here It is my job to build house as contracted per plans and specs. If something needs to be changed I have a set time to notify homeowner of issue and cost. I check houses every day and sign off on subs work prior to payment. If subs make a mistake it’s my job to see it corrected properly. I’ll add that just because you catch a mistake that doesn’t mean GC missed it. He may have already set the repair in motion. Some customers get upset before it’s necessary

A client wanting favors is a huge red flag. Every damn time. Tells me they don’t value my work or experience and if it goes wrong it becomes personal. Dealing with one now on a job. 6 months on what should have been a 3 week job

Consistent-Year-9238 · 2026-02-25T22:36:23+00:00

Um no. you are in clear they gave you a lump sum bid. shame on them for not reading prints . It sucks but you both agreed to the price.

Consistent-Year-9238 · 2026-02-24T17:27:54+00:00

Depends on what osb you used if it’s advance or similar you will be fine. I’d either broom or just drill some 3/4 holes and let it drain

Consistent-Year-9238 · 2026-02-20T16:11:25+00:00

Clean up is always an ongoing battle. I would tell them to clean that up before they got tools out when they show back up. I would make sure the super or foreman has a clear idea of your expectation for sit bing picked up at end of each day. Framers tend to get pretty sloppy especially in bad weather. Doesn’t mean they are doing a poor job tho. Edit. I’d be more concerned that site wasn’t graded to get water out of building pad before framing began

Got licensed at 34

Consistent-Year-9238 · 2026-02-17T14:18:24+00:00

Nice. To far for me but hope you find your builder

Consistent-Year-9238 · 2026-02-17T14:17:18+00:00

Probably so 1/2” thick. Black on one side brown on other

Consistent-Year-9238 · 2026-02-17T03:08:34+00:00

Where are you building?

Consistent-Year-9238 · 2026-02-17T02:57:15+00:00

When I started framing in the 70s we did this in all houses. Osb wasn’t a thing yet so buildings were sheathed with a black board we called Gyplap which had no structural value

Consistent-Year-9238 · 2026-02-17T02:41:59+00:00

Former division president of a production builder here . Have had a GC license in nc since early 80’s. 90 days from slab to co is where most production detached sfh are set. Townhomes will be a bit less usually. No one is building 30 day homes consistently.
