One inch gap between the roof and second floor structures.

Daylight coming through a 1 inch gap between the roof structure and the second floor is traced from the front bedroom to the rear bedroom.

According to the Richmond American Homes superintendent

"this is normal," it wasn't fixed.

Video 2 (2.0 minutes):

Reconstruction of the Kitchen and the Study.

Kitchen Island was dismantled and removed. Kitchen vinyl floor was ripped out and sub-floor boards cut, re-nailed, and/or replaced. Every room in the house, including bath and closets, had their carpet, or vinyl, removed and their sub-floor boards re-nailed, cut, replaced, or all. Furniture was moved from room to room as every room in the house was torn. The noise you hear is made by only two people using hand tools. Imagine living for a little over a week, from 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM, with six people cutting, ripping, and hammering floor boards using power and hand tools at the same time as four other people using power and hand tools cutting and hammering wall boards.

According to Richmond American production manager

"this is normal."
