Saying it was intentional, deliberate, or whatever. Mistakes happen anywhere in the country. But I am surprised it was not caught in inspection.Now before anyone says maybe it is the way they measure for landis.. Our current home specified an extension and it IS what was measured.
Roaddog: you offer sage advice . The problem is you will never know if it was an honest mistake or a calculated move. As to county inspectors there are many jurisdictions where there is too cozy a relationship and I am not necessarily intimating anything illegal but too trusting believing that builders would abide the honor system.
