If the second call to the builder doesn't take care of the problem, then I agree, the building inspector would be the person to call. It might not be a formal complaint coming from him/her, but that's who the builder has to deal with on a regular basis and would be the last person they would want to piss off.

The tricky part will be when one subcontractor finishes and the next one sets up shop. Hopefully they communicate to each sub.

Good luck, brother.

I have a feeling that is the situation. The first time it was the guys digging the foundation, this time it's the guys putting in some kind of pre-fab basement wall structure.

I want them done as fast as they want to get it done but I am just not comfortable with building materials being leaned against the side of my brick house or my wooden fence. This is the most expensive thing I've ever bought and it has to last me 30 years so I can pay for it!

Like I said I don't want to be a jerk which is why I was curious if I had a legitimate gripe.
