Wrong & Wronger

It is now safe to assume that all posts start with a sigh...

The good news is they have installed the screened windows. The bad new is the trim around them on the outside is all wrong. Yet another in a series of things that were specifically discussed with the general contractor that have somehow been lost in translation to the subcontractor. It was agreed that these screened porch windows would match the hearth/dining room windows (to the left in the photo). This is why they are the same size and shape, and have the same spacing between them. That much went okay, but they put this cedar style trim down rather than putting the siding back up to match the rest of the house. It's a stylistic choice I could see someone making, but we had already decided to make it congruous with the rest of the house. Now they'll have to pull all that work apart and redo it, further delaying the project. Oh, and meanwhile they sealed all the siding up in the attic area above the dining room. It will be interesting to see how they go about getting that out.

To add insult to injury one of the windows is damaged and will have to be replaced.

Also, it's not easy to see, but that last fence post was placed so close to where the window is that there isn't room to put the metal cap on it. So they are going to have to move it, which will require replacing one of the boards in the deck as well. Comedy of errors.

The tile around the tub in the bathroom is not (I don't think) a stylistic issue. This photo doesn't show it that well, but the tile below sticks out farther than the glass tile above. It's much worse than it looks in this photo. It wouldn't have been that hard to make them even. This just seems like such a basic thing to me. I mean...what kind of tiling person doesn't recognize this? Am I missing something?
