100 to 1 says it was built by "hardworking" illegal Hispanic immigrants. I know all about their poor workmanship.
You win.
Good grief. Does every thread need to be about illegal immigration? Maybe we all should be praying that this woman's shoddy work was performed by U.S. citizens?
Bingo!
"100 to 1 says it was built by "hardworking" illegal Hispanic immigrants."
I am a commercial real estate developer......try 10,000 to 1!
There's a huge retirement community with more than 1200 houses already built in our community. The builders use illegals for all construction labor and build the worst houses in the area. The houses are so poorly and cheaply built, they won't last 20 years, for sure.
You can't blame illegal immigrants for the cheap materials, for the developers building as fast as possible with no regard to long term quality, with no quality assurance. The fact that all new homes are built by Illegals is just just another sign there is no regard to quality and craftsmanship and that most new homes are a joke in terms of quality, sadly Americans are paying over a million for the modern McMansion. The real funny thing is the modern yuppie who lives far away from work in a distant exurb and commutes in over an hour each way, so they can enjoy their McMansion on converted farmland stuffed with houses.
They're just doing the shoddy work that Americans won't do.
I had a new house built for me in 2005, and illegal Hispanics were involved with a lot of the work. The stone work had to be completely redone because they botched it. It took more than a year of pestering the builder, who drug his feet. Also the illegals installed sold and an underground irrigation system that was a disaster. They forgot to tamp down the earth after putting in the irrigation system, so the sod sank wherever there was an underground pipe. You couldn't walk the lawn without falling into a hole, or twisting your ankle, or even falling. Again, it took more than a year, but the builder had to eventually make good. Interestingly, there was so much trouble with the illegals that the lawn and irrigation company switched to Americans and the quality of work jumped skyward. They haven't had any problems since then. I gave contractor and the lawn & irrigation subcontractor living hell about the disastrous lawn and irrigation. That's what it takes to get any results.
I would bet that you are at least 110% right. I have said many times on FR that there would be serious problems with the constuction of homes and commercial buildings in the near future because of the use of illegals. Not everyone who crosses our borders illegally are carpenters and brick layers. The construction industry uses them as such but it is only because they work cheap. Not because of their skills.
