Default Re: are the houses well built?

It's perspective, expectations, attitude. At dinner last evening, construction quality was another topic of conversation --- as well as bird :edit: in the pools. We discovered that all 5 homeowners had had the same builder back on '05. No idea about which subs were used. On the various warranty walk-thrus, 4 of the 5 of us said that we each had about 3 to 5 minor items, nothing serious -- missed paint spots, caulking, maybe a loose board or tight door. The final couple said they had more than 2 legal pad sheets of items to be fixed. Is it feasible that the builders did such a miserable job on one house while building the 4 around it so well? Doubtful.
