So appreciate your work. In my law office stint several years were devoted to shoddy construction. One a tall apartment complex whose outer wall came away from the building due to failure to tie it in. There were other problems too, but that was the worst. In a ritzy location too. And there were others as well, Build on the cheap with IAs doing a lot of the labor.. Lack of experience and inability to communicate?

Jean, all these years I haven’t been to court once. I’ve seen so many shorty jobs, the most recent a friends large pool house that would have collapsed if I didn’t show the Guatemalan framer how to tie the roof rafters together. Total basic fundamental framing. This guy frames high end houses in neighboring towns. Very scary!!
