It was worth the money for the inspector

[Rajah]

The state windstorm inspector came back out to re-inspect what our inspector found wrong with the roof -- they were able to fix some of the areas simply by adding another nail here or there, or moving a nail, but the roof part just above our garage the state inspector agreed needed to be replaced. So, they're going to replace it.

As for the beam without a lot of horizontal support -- the engineering plans call for it that way and it meets state code. The engineers the builder talked to said that beam doesn't *get* much horizontal weight, hence the need for only one horizontal support beam, and by adding any more it would change the dynamics of the roof and increase the potential for problems so we're good there, too.

I really like the responsiveness of this builder.

That is great! I am glad everything is being taken care of to your satisfaction.

Whew!
So it was a good thing to get the inspector - because you got things that were wrong fixed and you got other things explained. So all-in-all, you're ahead!
Hope it's smooth sailing form here on out!

Yay for you! Cory can tell you, the inspections are good for everyone - they protect you, they protect the builder (in case of something tragic or messy... use your imagination), and they protect whomever is giving you the loan(s). You can never be too thorough when buying something you didn't build yourself (or oversee the building of...). I'm just so happy for you!

Good luck. In this part of Texas, you have to really watch for wind storms and loose shingles on a roof would had been a headache down the road. It is good that the builder is taking care of this problem now.

Have fun in the new house. Let us know when the next DIS meet is so we can see it.
