The jack stud not supporting the header is an immediate termination offense.

I’d think the average time owning a DR Horton home is 5 years or less so who cares. If you’re looking for your lifetime ownership in a mass produced house, you deserve what you get.

Gotta love the 1300 sq ft houses for 350k

Really surprised by this, DR Horton is a pretty solid builder. I’ve own yours for over 5 yes no issues

My personal favorite is the 2x4 as a door header. One of my daughters got one built (over my objections) and when I pointed out things like that I was told to mind my own business.

As a designer/builder, it’s just as easy to do it correctly as incorrectly. That’s what gets me. And yes, I was a project manager for DR a long time ago. Quality was high on the list back then. It’s awful now.

DR Horton is the subject of several lawsuits in Louisiana over quality and water intrusion issues.

Dr Horton is to home builders as Entergy is to electrical utilities.

I framed and trimmed homes for many years. One time I remodeled some apartments on Jefferson in Baton Rouge. Had to replace siding on chimney flue boxes. What ever idiots built them had nailed the 4 corners of the plywood on them with casing nails bent over to hold it on. I was in disbelief and obviously there is no way that place was properly inspected.

The local inspector here, who is married to the daughter of a big-time builder here, has a huge fricking house. Seems to spend a lot of time on the golf course.
