3 issues came up that I have to work through
1) Although overall the stucco/stone was done well.. some of the details irk me. Like very un even caulk joints, the way they finished some of the edges.. its like they were just sloppy with the last 10%. So, having a walk through with my GC monday to let him know that **** is unacceptable.
2) Trim guys gave up on using my high end aluminum baseboard reveals (Fry Reglet). Basically said I would have to hire a commercial drywall guy, and that is out of my $$$. So they used wood baseboards flush with the drywall (looks like pine). They said with fiberglass mesh tape, that it wont crack between the wood and the drywall (since there will be mud to bridge the gap) but I am not convinced. I figure worse case if the joint cracks, I can add baseboards (i had planned to have none)
3) If you look at the front view, the long low slope roof toward the front sags a little bit. The framer "added that on" instead of it being a core part of the main structure. The two ends are part of the main framing, but inbetween it is not.. and so i sags. Gotta talk to the framer, but I think I am going to run steel 1" tubing through the center of the next 3 roof 'stringers' (or whatever you call them) and into the last one that hangs off the end, so it wont be able to sag. Maybe one every 4 ft. The part that is sagging is only the 2ft "overhang" not the whole roof. Gonna talk to the framer and get his opinion, and maybe hire an engineer or architect. its an easy fix now.
Overall I am beyond happy, but the details are really ******* me off.
(yes, its getting a frosted tint)
