And even if I didn't the builder was so strict they would make you fix any deficiencies.

I haven't dealt with smaller home builders much, but I've heard horror stories.
The government is partly to blame for bringing in so many people from over seas that had no clue how homes here were built. As long as the businesses had their workers the government was happy. Also, not to mention all the BS paperwork that was done to bring people from overseas that had no intention of working or leaving which is a totally different story.

I was hoping the recession would clear some of these morons out, but clearly it hasn't.
