Purrs and hugs.

You are reminding me why Joel and I swore black and blue that we'd
never
build a house again. You don't want to see it while its being made
because
you see all the flaws, shortcuts and dodgy handiwork. But if buy a
pre-made
one, then you see the end product only and can make up your mind on
what th
whole thing, take it or leave it.

I don't know if it will reassure you, but if its not a load-bearing
wall,
then its not really a big deal. It can be replaced or stabilised later
without affecting the stability of the rest of the structures. I know
its
frustrating for you, I know, honest, but as long as youcan trust your
builders (and Jody) to see to it that the wall doesn't wobble by the
time
you make the fnal payment, then you are just worrying for nothing.
Yes, I
also know you can't help but wory, but sweetie, now you know that that
wall
wobbles, you can make *damn sure* it doesn't before you hand over the
last
payment. In fact, you can inspect all the walls for wobble before the
last
payment, now that you know about the potential.

Many many purrs, its a very stressful time.

Yeah, I trust them. And I trust our builders 100%. In fact, I tried to
call the builder and ask if Jody's telling me the truth if it's not load
bearing, it'll be ok. Yeah, I'll take his word over that of my husband's
but hey!! It's his job .

I'll take some photos but the problem was that this wall is fifteen feet
high. (so I've been told) And if they use "anchor iron" in four
different places before the sheetrock and bolt a mantle/support beam
(which looks natural because we have a hardwood cathedral ceiling) then
it doesn't bow out just a little bit.

And if that doesn't help, we tear the wall down again, add extra stud
support, toss the insulation back up and do the iron thingie.
