To follow up on that thread from a couple weeks ago discussing the cost & quality of trim carpentry these days....
Every (explative deleted for the young) door in my three year old house squeaks no matter how much WD40 or grease I put on the hinge pins, to the point I finally pulled out one hinge pin from a few doors to shut ‘em up. On one of those doors, the hinge halves sprang out of alignment over a 1/16”! Well on my daughter’s room I pulled down all the wimpy trim to replace it with better stuff & found out what’s going on. The trim carpenter installed the pre-hung doors with NO shims at all. He just shot the hinge side jamb right up against the trim stud, pulling the jamb into whatever shape the stud was in. Then on the knob side he just shot about a million 18 ga brads through the jamb, apparently holding it away from the trim stud to keep the gap even along the door edge. Classic.
Doesn't anyone take pride in what they do anymore? I won't even go into how many ground wires I've found never connected at switches and outlets of customer's homes since I moved out here. I guess that's what you get on tract homes these days - especially in one of the hottest home markets in the country.
