Frigging Framers

We know this is a kind of retrofit building process. We know mistakes are going to happen. We assume the mistakes will be made by us, the amateurs. The mistakes we keep finding are being made by the professionals not us. That is very disheartening.

 Christopher is up bending metal back and getting the joint area ready for the siding to go up. The framers added the wall above the metal when tying the garage into the two buildings.
The framers built the wall out an inch farther than the existing wall. But only on half the wall. The other half is straight up from the existing wall. The wall is crooked.


Guess we will b e taking the OSB down from part of the wall and nailing the siding directly to the studs. After spraying the insulation into the attic part it will okay. Just a hassle and added work for us.
