There Was a Crooked House

The floor of the garage had to be sloped to match the elevation of the two metal buildings. We hired "professional" framers to frame in the exterior walls and the rooms being built in the garage. They must have forgot to square their studs to the world. We reminded them several times during the time they were building that the floor was not level. They had to redo the front window opening to make the window level so you would have thought that would have really reminded them to make the needed adjustments. Sometimes the English language can be a bigger barrier than we realize. It may be that we just didn't make ourselves clear enough.

We wanted a coat closet and it was on the plans and they forgot. That's an easy thing to fix all Bill had to do was take out a 4 foot wall then build the closet That's when we saw how far out of alignment the studs are. Fortunately, Bill is pretty darn good at this stuff and he made the corrections and all the extra blocks of wood added to make straight walls will be hidden by sheet rock.
