I have been reading the posts here for over a year and they of course have been helpful. I
hope to hear some thoughts that would clarify my feeling on this.
On a 1 yr warranty inspection on a 2 year old model home. It is 2 story and I am seeing cracking of the mortar specifically at corners (4 of 5 corners and 3 of the cracks are 3 plus feet). The widest opening being at the top near the soffit at 1/4 inch. Sloppy installation or improperly fastened ties seems the likely culprit. There are several interior hairline wall cracks that do not correspond to exterior cracks. One closet door frame is slightly out of square. Nothing big interior wise.
Thoughts?
