hey, if it is on the plans it must be right! I have seen brand new houses down here that have the ceiling fans too close to the kitchen cabinets, so that if you opened the door more than a couple inches the fan would slap it shut ! scare the sh*t out of you:sifone:

If I counted up the hours I spent back in my construction days explaining/arguing with a homeowner or architect why something wasn't going to work...
And then explaining the options at this point in the build...

I think my boat trailer would scrape backing into that garage...

I think a Hummer will still scrape going into that garage.

No pics, but a few years back a local builder won a bid for a highway connector overpass that went up and around a big curve. They built from both ends and they waited to put the steel over the main road in for last. They were several feet off. Instead of telling anyone, he pulled all his equipment and made a beeline for bankruptcy court.

Similar story. The south side of Lake Okeechobee has a road from a town called Canal Point to Belle Glade. The road has a 55mph limit except for a nice sharp left-then-right(or vice-versa) turn right in the middle. They were off about 80 feet. :leaving:
