Don’t worry, every time we’ve had to or chosen to do anything to the newer houses we’ve owned it’s been a constant series of discoveries about how out-of-square everydamnthing is. We level something perfectly and... it’s nowhere near matching what’s already there. Even the doorways go out of alignment in a just a few years, if they don’t start that way.
- FireBeyond 6y agoDon't even start me on the new construction (thankfully rental) that my last home was. The stairwell landing was so badly off that there was skirting running up the side, and on the landing, they actually had _two_ layers of skirting (one atop the other). It looked ... ridiculous. And within months, every door had squeaks and sticks, because the frame would be off by as much as 1/4 inch.
