Driveway Sawcut

[willf2900]

This driveway was sawcut after installation and the cut was curved instead of straight. Is this a problem with expansion? Should the contractor correct the cut?

Are those blood stains permanent?

I see at least a dozen examples of symmetry in the photo of the house, so what happened with the driveway? Maybe the concept became lost to the contractor when the time came to form the driveway.

Irregular things like that I sometimes attribute to what I call the builder's 'signature'. They're usually not violations, might be examples of poor workmanship, might be just the builder's own style but one thing for sure: they're seldom appealing to anyone other than the builder himself.

There's nothing technically wrong with it. It's just a design choice. Kind of like having 4 different kinds of siding on one side of a small house. . .

between your "grievances" with the fp & driveway

why are you considering purchasing this particular house?

regret is a bitter pill & resentment will last throughout ownership...unless you're a zen type...forgive & forget

other bigger issues commonly seen are with the exterior mfr. stone...here's the install guide

best hire an inspector qualified to inspect the fake-stone & rest of house before moving forward

It is not a problem. Park a car there and you will forget about it.
