I've only driven through RR 1 time .... Dink was sayin the same thing ... Not just RR though you'd be suprised how crappy most home builders build these days. I watch what's goin on and don't let my subs get away with any bullsheet . I want to know my customers will have no problems for years to come

Wow....that is a small lot. Bet that neighborhood looks more like Condominiums than houses and you can hear your neighbors when they make any noise.

The lots in my neighborhood are 4+ times that size and I also bought the lot that is behind me so I don't have to look at anybody's back yard behind me.

I was one of the stupid ones to buy a D.R. Horton piece of junk! Been for sale for almost 2 years now. Cant give this thing away! Too many people know about their shady houses now.
