We are having a 10'X 10' room addition built on the back of our house. It
appears the builder has started it with out any use of a blue print, for
starters. He keeps asking where I want the door and the windows to be and what
kind of roof I want -- weird in my opinion. The contractor should have given him
this information, I would have thought. Next, he poured the concrete footing for
the foundation without taking down the old patio cover or steps. He laid narrow
concrete blocks on their flat side to start the laying of the brick (seems like
it would crumble after a while). He calls this brick wall the foundation. The
inspector came and would not pass it, saying it is not a foundation. The builder
came out to look at the message the inspector left and wanted to know what it
was he was supposed to do. My question is, should I continue with this project,
or just quit before it gets any worse or stranger? Can any of this be right? I
need your advice ASAP. Sincerely, Patricia Lecroy
