Default Re: Masonry Steps

This is exactly at the point of construction where we can make an enormous difference in our client's life.

Better here than the alternative a few years down the road.

Educate and provide factual documentation to them and their "professionals". Hope and pray they stand up to them and require they properly change this design before any further work takes place.

What is sooooooo pathetic is the builders even when building their own homes do not heed my advice and will call later down the road to request solutions to their intrusion problems.

We all know what the solution is but they'll get out the caulkgun, tar, mastic and duct tape to make it last a few moments longer.
