Exactly, how much time does a building inspector actually spend on a job site these days? 15 minutes? Especially considering he is probably looking at 10 houses that day. No way they can see eveything just quickly walking thru the place.
Id be scared to death to buy a brand new house these days unless it was builtby a very reputable custom home builder that took his time doing it. I would never want a new home built by a builder that is a mass producer.
Scott, maybe im missing something but whats going on with the 2nd picture? I see in the last picture that the morons switched the water lines. thats hilarious. People seem to think "its a new house what could possibly be wrong with it"? Plenty!
