Like whis wrote.

Built to spec by unconnected subcontractors. Concrete looks good. House looks good.

I worked for the Army Corps of Engineers in a "secure" facility.

After 9-11 they spec'd and built an expensive new gatehouse that had 1 gate which ALL traffic had to pass through. It had a 12.5' roof clearance over the traffic area. Then they put down the gravel and pavement. First delivery truck crumpled the roof, and the truck.

They built a new "go around"

spec house, model home, keeps people from parking on drive way and cars leaking. stains on drive way in front messes up curb appeal

Yep, I agree with you & Rustyiron. Especially with that paved footpath (you'd call it a sidewalk) going where no one would normally walk.

Mind you, if the 'plans' called for it then the contractors will do it.

It is possible to put it in the right place and still be wrong.

I don't think they would really care at that point.

It's funny, but I really have to wonder how they got this far into it and nobody said anything?

Design and construction by A&M graduates?;)

PS. My apologies to the Aggies among us -- I couldn't resist.:)
