Will some one please try and make sense of these goof ups in our trade and how could anyone sign off on this level of incompetence?

Orchard Ex Installed in accordance with the plans/contract as specified?

I find it hard to believe that foreman or site agent approved that work or that no one questioned it ,I for one could not leave such glaring mistakes as these on a site of mine or at least a site I was super on.

It got relocated a few days later as installing a set of steps did not seem appropriate.

I think a lot of times things don't come out right if they are not well planned out or more of an afterthought.

1st picture: The ridge of the trusses will be above the bottom of the window. D'oh!!! note: We built the house but the patio addition is not by us.

2nd picture: Only Tahoe size trucks can park in your garage D'oh!!!!

Im thinking that emergency exit has to be just a platform for the city's ladder truck to get to?

That must be the max working height of their ladder truck.

Small budget, didn't have the money to run the emergency exit to the ground.

How about this one:beatsme? 13 poles in the new curb & gutter in about 1000 feet. The city rebuilt the street last summer and 13 of their street light poles are still in the new curb & gutter a year later. At least they put hazard panels on them:rolleyes:
