900,000 home with some horrible quality control.
All the window trim cladding is lapped wrong on this home. What says you? |

You'd think, for $900,000, they could find a way to conceal the J-molding, too.

I love to see pictures like that. It looks like some of our out of work Florida builders have started migrating your way!!

Mark, looks like another job done by ACME Hackem.
This is common when a builder pays cheap peice work wages and only the inexperienced will do their work. Good call. |
