Far be it for me to criticize the construction methods of others. Heck, I married a man who doesn’t know the meaning of square and whose carpentry techniques can best be described as a little off. But I did have to do a double take while driving past this build the other day.

But I think they’re doing it wrong.

They are doing it wrong…lol 😝. Maybe it “fell” over into some muddy pit or something. That’s only a guess.

That was my guess too. Apparently it’s been that way for a while now.

What a mess. I worked on a framing crew for about four years and only saw something like that once. It doesn’t look like a carpentry issue to me, except for maybe getting ahead of the process. Where was this?
I have the same carpentry issues as your husband. Fortunately, I guess, my house doesn’t conform to any of the rules of carpentry. It’s sculpture.
When might we be reading more about the lovely perennial garden? You know we all want to know.

These things can’t be rushed.
At least at our house…

Ok, by doing it this way can they damn near build it without a ladder or danger of falling off a roof. Once the upper part is done, they use hydraulics to lift the down side onto sunken corners, and then build the rest at ground level. I saw this done once for a large shed, and it worked really well. we cannot see the backside as the ground in front is raised.

So this was done on purpose? How strange…

I am saying it is possible. It is equally possible they are just crappy builders.

Our neighbors decided to put in a new cement pad for their HVAC unit. In order to do so, a section of wooden steps needed to be removed. These were steps leading into the back of their house, so we figured they’d get “put back” in due time. That was November. I’m still looking at the stairs…still on their side…resting on top of the pad. I think someone may have erred.

If they’re like my husband, much contemplating must be done before any actual work takes place.

They appear to have laid a heap of soil to raise the ground level. If they’ve plonked that on it, maybe its to see if the soil is compacted enough/stable enough to maintain future weight of building/s? Just a guess.

Couldn’t they have done that with the building standing up straight?

If I’m right (and I doubt it), the sinking of that building means the soil is not stable and they’d best not put any more on there – but developers/builders being what they are they’d probably try to get away with bare minimum.
