Andy, you know damn well id take up 40 pages with that. You've heard them in person. (insert machine gun smilie here)

You should see the holes i have in my walls. Finishing carpenter almost made an extra one with his head when we saw what he did

Bev, its improper installation. Theres spaces surrounding the windows, so no insulation. Just a layer of stucco between the windows/casings and the -30'C outside. When everything thawed, all that ice in the walls melted. Which left us with soaked drywall and insulation, including the second floor master bedroom and bathroom.

Just gotta make it 3 more weeks and warranty steps in and does the repairs personally. No more half assed attempts from the builder.

Edit: I should point out that our family has been in real estate for some 15 years, including property management, renovations, and new homes. We had a trusted builder we worked with but had gone with another, on the word of a friend.

Anyone building a new home, research until you go crosseyed, speak with EVERY previous client of that builders, and do NOT let them intimidate you.
