I really do not mean to crap on architects..but I have also seen them do some very strange things,for instance,an architect earlier this week has a crack/leakage problem in basement.One of his problem areas is a crack on his back wall....which was there prior to him building an addition on the outside of this back wall.He did not waterproof this area before erecting the addition...big mistake...he thought water would not "wick" underground...under the addition toward the back wall...wrong assumption! Also he does not have a deep enough footing to support the addition(he did work himself & only went 3 feet deep all the way around).So now(1 1/2 yrs later) the addition is dropping & pulling away from house! Anyway..to shorten this up..this is an architect!!! Who should have easily known better! Why do some people take shortcuts..to save money? Jesus..your going to wind up spending alot more in the end if you don`t take care of your problems correctly..just because someone is an architect/waterproofing/builder/inspectors etc doesn`t mean they have common sense!
