Default Ridge vent end caps

This was on a new build I inspected the other day. I thought I would share this.

Builder is claiming this is normal and common practice.

It makes me wonder what else he cut corners with. They are not that expense to begin with.

$1.60 each plus tax at HD or Lowes. Of course now that they boogered up the ends you would play hell getting one in and fitting right.



"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing is worth a war, is worse. A man who has nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety is a miserable creature who has no chance at being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

- John Stuart Mill
