Cracked.

We built our house in November 2009. About a year ago we noticed a small crack going up the wall. The crack has since grown...a lot. Husband decided to check the outside of the house this past weekend to see if the foundation itself was cracking. Well, he found a crack on the exterior of the house in the same spot as the crack no the inside AND a crack in the foundation on the other side of the house in the same place! Grrrrr!!

So, we called our builder and assumed they would come right out and fix it without questions since we have a 10 year structural warranty. WRONG. They came out, took pictures, and said that the cracks had to be bigger than 1/16th of an inch. Guess how big the crack is on the inside of the house? 1/16th of an inch. Seriously?!?! So I guess we have to wait a few months and call the back once it gets bigger. Just absurd. They also said the cracks on the outside of the house are not the foundation. So, it's just a coincidence they the house has two cracks clear across both sides?! I think not.

Their solution? Patch it. UM. NO. I'm not covering up their building mistake! I will wait 9.75 years if I have to, but as soon as the crack is .01 inches wider than 1/16th of an inch I'll be calling them!

Anyway. I guess the point of this post was to vent and show y'all how absurd this is! Just look at these pictures. What would you do? Just wait? Call someone else? I don't know but I want it fixed. :-/

Look closely. It's a Z shape.

This goes almost halfway up the wall.
