For example, far too much caulking is used to hide flaws, very few inside and outside walls are straight, windows are inferior in quality, block walls are constructed on concrete floors not nearly cured long enough, vinyl siding was applied incorrectly for several years, and on and on it goes. I offer the following that a person can use to tell when a individual or contractor lacks construction experience. When they someone uses the term "cement" floor or perhaps "cement" driveway, that person is not a true craftsman. The correct term is always "concrete" floor, "concrete" driveway or perhaps "concrete" patio. Cement is the binding product added to stone, sand and water that hardens and creates CONCRETE....Where I come from, many use the terms kitchen sink and kitchen zinc.

I am not offended, nor am I surprised. I have a good memory for posts and for opinions and attitudes.
BUT....Since you had all this information, all this background, all this expertise,
why in the world did you buy a home here?
