Help.. buying new construction and I think they are trying to pull a fast one.
We are about to close on a house and we noticed a few major flaws
The first is on the limestone windows sill. Our house is 2/3 brick and on the first level we have a limestone ledge that also acts as a sill for our three front windows. Now, they laid the brick at a slight angle and one the right side it comes out too far. in order for them to lay the sill correctly they have left a 1/2 horizontal gap between the sill and the window which they have conveniently calked. I have heard that horizontal calking can be problematic. Also it looks horrible. Any opinions would be appreciated Here is a picture http://img.ranchoweb.com/images/hota_ga/window.jpg Thanks |
