The bolt that was not there
A fifteen dollar item at the centre of the uplift chain.
Guides 
All guides
A hoop strap over the plate is not a hoop strap
It looks finished, and it restrains nothing.
A brace that is slack is a brace that is decorative
Metal angle bracing only works in tension.
A rafter cut short of its bearing
Bearing length is a number, not a judgement.
Out of plumb, and by how much
The tolerance is published, so the argument is arithmetic.
Junctions not nailed off, brackets not installed
Three connections that a lining hides forever.
What a Camden handover list looks like
Room by room, and one item that is not about paint at all.
Masking tape on the handrail
The small thing that tells you about the big thing.
The hole where the pipe goes through the wall
A tube of sealant now, or a wall investigation later.
Buying a house younger than the suburb
Nothing in Gledswood Hills is older than 2011.
Grading, and the water you never see
The ground around a house is part of the house.
The barrier you will never see again
Sections missing, an hour before the pour.
The notice that was not in the meter box
Without it, nobody can tell you what protects the house.
Moisture is the invitation
Grading, discharge and timber left where it should not be.
Two reports, one visit
The same access, two different standards.
