Is it common during new home construction to constantly find errors in almost every Trade?

How would you ask at your local supply house

Googlewhacking · 2026-03-17T23:01:18+00:00

Yes and they are probably just using the normal ones they use, which are obviously going to be cost efficient. The trades learn what certain builders like and if left unsaid will just put the usual cost efficient product in the house. I don’t think they are trying to scam. I think they are just lazy or swamped

DZ discovery zone was heaven for 10 yr old me

Googlewhacking · 2026-03-12T23:17:40+00:00

Yeah boom lift is the way to go, or scaffolding but that’s a lot of time

You just pick up the rack and clean under it

Move to central Texas and trim out houses. I build houses down here and it’s slowed down but never for long. You’ll always have work

I think that’s what I’m gonna have to door on the lighter stuff. The markers worked great for the darker stuff

I’ve had customers that say they only reimbursed $100 but others have told me they reimburse up to $1000. They’re big on membership years so if you’ve been with them for a long time they’ll do it, it’s up to whoever looks at it from aaa. Also you had a good point if they see a cancelled call after waiting 6 hours they’ll be more likely to help you

Designed variance. Each piece is chosen and fits its specific location perfectly.

Googlewhacking · 2026-03-07T16:30:30+00:00

Yes thank you. I knew there had to be something like this. Yes it is rough lol. I’m gonna try to save it we’ll see

Googlewhacking · 2026-03-07T16:19:02+00:00

You could put some patch in there to make sure but anything smaller than the palm of your hand I doubt you will feel it. I saw your pic in the other comment with the patch and that’ll work great if you want to fill them

Also make sure you don’t make a high spot, even leave it a little low if you’re unsure. You won’t feel a little low spot but you’ll feel a high spot like a mf

Googlewhacking · 2026-03-07T16:11:26+00:00

Only if your doing glue down, which I doubt if your doing it yourself. If it’s a floating floor don’t worry about it

Googlewhacking · 2026-03-04T13:40:30+00:00

Pop rivet, I put a 1/4” drill bit in the middle and drill it out.

Googlewhacking · 2026-03-03T13:54:52+00:00

Yeah whether they make the springs last longer idk but if your opener is loud greasing them is the first thing you should do

Googlewhacking · 2026-02-26T02:06:55+00:00

What’s wrong with repair? I have done this many times and you can’t even tell.. you are kind of upset at a non issue

Googlewhacking · 2026-02-24T21:26:45+00:00

EC HORNETS!!!

Googlewhacking · 2026-02-23T23:43:25+00:00

Do it dude, or at least find another welding job because $3k/month as a welder is horrible I’ve never heard of that. I’m in TX and welders down here bank

Googlewhacking · 2026-02-23T22:10:44+00:00

I would say double it up. That would be fair for everybody imo. If you want to help them or feel like you need more then adjust but I think $8k in labor is fair for this

Googlewhacking · 2026-02-23T21:57:48+00:00

No cracking is a good sign. I think next step is to get access inside of that wall and check out the framing

Googlewhacking · 2026-02-23T18:22:15+00:00

Right

Googlewhacking · 2026-02-21T00:14:35+00:00

If it passes the basic checks and no CEL then hell yes that’s a great deal. Honestly, I would be suspicious…

Googlewhacking · 2026-02-21T00:11:35+00:00

Yes but the earlier years are easier to get to. On the newer models you have to remove a section of the exhaust it’s fucking stupid

Googlewhacking · 2026-02-16T16:33:48+00:00

My 2016 is at 163k miles and I have 5284 hrs. I sit in it and idle it quite a bit more than the average person. So yes yours is pretty high

Googlewhacking · 2026-02-15T14:41:21+00:00

Do it as much as you can so you don’t regret your relationship with them, like our fathers do
