It’s an old story.  A few months after you move into a new house, the toilet blocks up and after you’ve gone through the plumber to new pipes and a new toilet you discover you’ve had rice poured into the plumbing from the beginning.  Or your wall is all wet and it turns out that sealing material wasn’t used in the building of the wall.  I hear about this all the time from broken-hearted home owners who are forced into rebuilding again and again. There are also stories that workers engrave their names into the blocks so when the building is in ruins they may claim it as theirs.  

I’m telling you this because my kids won’t remodel or build if they know this goes on.  So I don’t want to tell them – just make sure you get workers you can really trust.
