Sounds like a house trailer.

 

The did a development down the road from me. All panelized construction. They went up fast, but I have my concerns as to the "Impeccable Quality":blink:

I also don't like the 2' staggered "Stair-step" siding pattern.

 

I've got quite a few Ryan homes developments around here. They are the same "builder" quality as any. No one goes above and beyond anymore. It's great for me because I work mostly in new homes fixing all the stuff that is wrong.

 

X2, I agree that quality is going downhill in favor of larger profits or lack of common sense. Every time i see a home being built here with little or no overhangs i laugh. A lot of these homes have poor ventilation and little or no ice/water shield put down. I am not talking cheap homes either, some of these home get listed for $350k to $800k and are nothing but a nightmare when the 1st snow storm hits. Then we all have these cheap kit homes in our communities, it is homes like these that keep a lot of us busy one way or another.

 

i am in the heart of ryan home country, and my buddies little bro got a job as a service mgr, making good money with percs even, i couldn't understand why they would hire him with no experience, then i realized he was like his bro and could bull**** with the best of them,

i subbed for a guy who was supposed to replace a door so he sent me there, to my horror i found the sheathing was space age cardboard, meaning the door jamb was too wide, i told the guy what was wrong and he said rip the jamb down, i was pissed to hear him say that,

so i went to h/o and said this guy is a fricken hack, i had to he was dead wrong in his fix, it had a metal threshold that would of been compromised, so i added a realnice inside trim job to make the door work and add insulation value, atleast thats what i told them anyways.

don't they give the guy more work for what i did for them,and once again things weren't what they seemed so this time i said to the guy you are on your own and left, looked right at the h/o and said good luck with this one,

how much do you save with no overhang anyway, where do they think the water will pour in when something like a piece of siding blows off haha
