Houses are the same. We had a contractor build a deck and this fall, I had to replace the steps. I'm surprised they never fell off as at least 50% of the deck screws missed the mark and were holding nothing but air....
Wasn't 'Amish' built either...lol
Gotta agree here. The circa 1978 built home I own had exterior wall insulation stopped a foot above the floor wall plate, HVAC duct runs not connected to room registers, totally illegal wirinng, etc. Now I have remodeled 75% of the interior space with the help of friends, Google and YouTube. Thankful the structural framing is good. Where were the building inspectors during construction?
My camper isn't much better. Structural frame all seems good, but interior craftsmanship not so much. Screws missing supporting structure, Staples missing the 2 pieces they're supposed to connect, outlets not even close to being installed plumb, etc.
My problem is not keeping up with caulking on a flexing structure. Everything needs constant maintenance.
