New house on our street sitting crooked
Comments (58)just had to copy & paste these statements: "The whole enclave is ostentatiously poorly designed. Very depressing. It's just another example of where a random collection of bumpouts, gables, and disconnected rooflines on postage stamps approved by a committee are considered to be "upscale" because so much money has been spent on that bad design. " The whole development appears to be crammed into undersized lots to maximize builder profit on th eland investment. this is an interesting statement from the OP, so I will go ahead and quote it: "....complaining about issues that can't be changed is childish" How is this different then complaining about this house? In fact, if all houses were for sale, theirs would be the FIRST I would buy. Y'all are reading my mind...its uncanny! I really hate threads with folks talking smack about the neighbor's tacky house..one person's tacky house is another's dream home... best of luck OP....See MoreHow to account for natural light in figuring number of lights needed
Comments (2)Consider the natural light as a bonus. Plan your lighting for evening. night and overcast conditions when there is insufficient natural light.

Comments (8)There is probably a lot in the house that is crooked. New home builds I've been in are filled with them. Some are bigger than others of course. I found one in a new build I had done the first day after we closed and I figured it would bug me forever. Nope, I forgot about it and it's a non issue now. It's funny how things can feel like a big problem at the time but really aren't. You go into it expecting a new build to be "perfect"- but then you realize perfect is an illusion. But I agree this needs pictures. It might be fine, it might be a oh hell no....See MoreToo picky? Crooked shiplap
Comments (28)To be honest, having that uneven sliver at the top, especially on a focus fireplace wall, would drive me crazy. I would have to ask the installer to remove the pieces about 4 or 5 feet down and reinstall them with a slight cheat over the course of the pieces to the ceiling so that the last piece is as straight looking as possible. We installed a more contemporary, non-rustic shiplap treatment one of our walls and were careful to account for the top piece looking as level as possible with regard to the ceiling. Your plan sounds beautiful with the wrapped beams. I hope you repost the finished results!...See MoreLyn Nielson
