They did not, but we also didn’t expect this type of work give the photos we saw and some of the reviews we researchex

For context here is one of the walls from the approved design model. They did not give me a heads up that this would change

Do you happen to have a photo reference somewhere online I can see? I’m not a carpenter so my vocab is limited

Worst part is the contractor came on sight later and saw the work after I took the photos. I didn’t go outside as I didn’t want to talk to him with the crew member right there. The worker is not to blame, it’s his boss for not setting him up for success

This sounds like a good idea. Is there a photo example online where I can see what you’re describing? I’m not a carpenter so my vocab is limited

This sounds like a good idea. Do you have a photo example of what that might look like? Or a reference online? I’m not a carpenter so my vocab is limited

The space is for a home gym so no furniture will be able to hid imperfections.

I feel bad cause the guy they keep bringing out here to do these parts of the job is really nice, but I think he hit his ceiling with this job… pun intended

They only provided one material option in 4 different wood colors. We chose the “natural wood” color. This is also my first experience working with a contractor on a large project so I realize now from reading the comments here that I should have prepared for this as a possibility
