My older son began planning his retirement at the start of the year, plus started planning to build a new home in a new development near Mansfield, Tx. Close to schools, retail, retail development, etc. He planned a house of over 6,000 sq. ft. and they started on it this spring. However, there has been tons of rain this year holding up development, and they rushed into the framing.
During a recent walk-through, he noticed that the ceiling studs were low. They were a foot short, plus they put in the wrong windows.
So, they had to jack up the entire frame and double-stud the house up a foot!
And, the construction company had to eat it, and he is watching them like a hawk.
This isn't his first rodeo, either, he had his present house built 10 years ago too, and they had to correct many errors too, so he knows what to look for.
4,500 sq ft.
As it develops, I'll post more photos.
