Blunder- Master sheetrocker

I helped a couple to frame, side & roof there house and he was going to do the rest the print came from house package deal, He was required to supply the labor.

Well when he was done sheetrocking!

When gentlemen came into the house that did the taping called the house from Hades.

The gaps in the corners were bigger than the narrow part of my framing hammer 1 1/4″ (the maximum gap of ¼”) the rock job was so bad they textured sprayed the walls and ceiling to cover problems.

The basement looked like the Greek parathion.

15-20 steel posts making it hard to finish the basement. The trim work was poorly done.I was approached by a couple that wanted to build a large new 2 story house. They already had bought a house kit all they wanted me to do is frame roof and side the house. What was missing in this house package; A permit, City sewer and water, the driveway, basement foundation walls, Excavation, the wrong size sheet rock for the ceilings that have to hold up insulation.
The house package came with a large 3ring book tell you how to frame shingle and side. The illustrations were horrible there was no background information explaining why the house must be framed in a certain way. The house packages this company sells was really designed to sold to a carpenter who know how to frame, side roof and trim. All this person had to do is supply the labor but with no understanding of any of the trades. He was over his head, than came the time to sheetrock the house. Well when he was done sheetrocking, the gentlemen which came into the house that did the taping called the place “ house from Hades”.

The gaps in the corners were bigger than the narrow part of my framing hammer 1 1/4″ (the maximum gap of allowed 1⁄4″) the rock job was so bad, they textured spray the walls and ceiling to cover problems.

The basement looked like the Greek parathion.

15-20 steel posts making it hard to finish the basement. The trim work was also poorly done.
