Hello expats,
My wife tells me that we'll be buying a 20x40 Mennonite home so I've been doing a lot of research and narrowed it down to these two builders.
I would appreciate anyone's input from having dealt with either of these companies.
There's some good info on old threads here that's lead me to my biggest fear. Over the years there's a history of people who have found that green lumber was used in building their homes. The results of the wood twisting and warping turned their dream homes into nightmares. And since none of the builders offer warranties there was no recourse. The (very expensive) problems were theirs to deal with.
You can't tell by looking whether or not lumber is green, so what can you do?
I'd really appreciate hearing about the different experiences anyone has had in dealing with either of these companies and any advise on problems I should watch for.
I am crippled and this makes inspections impossible for me.
This job is going to fall into the lap of an 18 year old son. (Yikes!)
But even if I could be on site during the building process I'm not sure what I'd be looking for.
Thanks so much for any advise.
