I just have to share this because it made me laugh out loud on my morning walk. There is a brand-new house being built down the street, and the framing crew just finished putting up the front porch structure.
Everything looks totally normal until you look at where they installed the front door. The concrete steps lead straight up to a beautiful glass front door, except the door is positioned exactly three feet to the left of the actual porch landing. If you try to walk straight up the stairs, you just faceplant directly into a solid drywall exterior wall.
You literally have to climb the stairs, shuffle sideways along a tiny ledger lip, and then open the door. How does a mistake like that even happen? Does the architect not talk to the framing guys at all during the layout? I really want to meet the person who looked at the blueprints, saw the stairs and the door didn’t align, and just said “yep, looks good to me” and kept hammering. Anyone else seen some hilarious builder fails in their neighborhoods lately?
