Definitely a good way to get a free ride to the ER or morgue. Don't touch another mans property period! :twak:

Thanks for the replies. The block is poured solid, the corner probably pushed away during the pour. My main concern is the plate should be level and not bowed out. There will be a mesh stucco finish. I will give them until the end of the week to "address" it. If they don't I will knock the...

Well, I was told by my construction manager that it would be addressed. I guess the concrete guy didn't get the memo. This is exactly what I wanted to avoid. The top is flush as is the other side of the opening.

The bolt is used to secure the garage door rails to the wall. It's the block on the lower right of the garage opening. This was taken prior to the block being filled.

I wasn't there when it happened, noticed it when I went to check out the progress today.

Yes , it's the garage door opening. The OSB is only there for the block fill. I'm concerned that over time cracks will migrate into the stucco and become my problem down the road. I will lean on the builder to correct it. Thank you.

Sorry, I had to find the right link to paste. Just signed up on imjur.

Our new house is now blocked. Noticed this today. Construction manager says it's poured solid and will be fine but I feel differently since the corner has broken away and the mortar is also missing. Any concrete experts want to chime in on this?

Update. There has been a small hiccup due to the shipping company flattening the corner of the condenser like a pancake.:lol_hitti The damaged unit was picked up and a new unit is in transit. The wall bracket is on back order until Tuesday and still waiting for the line set cover kit to...

A little update. My 24K BTU unit and door insulation kit will be here Wednesday. My HVAC installer installs these regularly and is licensed to do the electrical as well. Hopefully I can get him out here sometime next week for the install. Until next time.

Thanks Rick. The attic and doors are insulated but my walls are concrete block. I'll keep you posted.

I'm going have a mini split AC/heat unit installed. My garage is 640 sqft with a ceiling height of 8.5' and faces southeast Will a 18k BTU unit get the job done? I plan on insulating the garage doors as well. Thanks.
