Here in Georgia, they like to skip when they build houses. We are having some built behind us and my husband went to see how they were being built. For the roof they were using the thinnest plywood. We have seen homes that are about 5 years old and if you look at the roof you can see where the rafters are, they are beginning to sag.

Here's a question--In your parts of the country when they build a house--do they put plywood all the way around it? They don't here. They don't even use plywood. They use pressboard and only at the corners and by windows and doors.
Yes, I had a bad experience from hiring a friend of mine's relative and he is in the church as well. Still having problems with the room he added.

It looked beautiful, but he didn't seal it properly.
