You simply can't imagine our frustration.

the architect mis-measured the &^%*&$%^$#$%#@&^* wall.

yes, the architect we paid thousands of dollars to draw up plans for our one time only addition mis-measured an existing wall and simply called it 12 feet when in reality was 11' 3" so..the 9" haunted the keystone cops as they bumbled their way into history-uh, at our house.

SO, the GC asleep at the wheel, orders 42" cabinets. but prior, they discover that the roof is not lining up with the existing roof. they blamed it on the pitch of the existing roof before the architectural design flaw was realized when there was only 25" to enter the east side of the kitchen and less that 36" to enter the northwest entrance to the kitchen. -uckin nightmare...

meanwhile, the gc is trying to charge us for all this shift calling all this crap "change orders" that the typical construction project should expect......but I, maintain that screwups do not fall under my change orders.......

so begins the most agravating intrusions on our residence and we had a newborn at the time.......

I can go on and on and this thing still has not been resolved.

this guy is a member of the BBB, NARI, you name it this guy has a shingle for it.

It's sometimes better to be lucky than smart.
