Apparently passes the test. Not defective because it does not leak YET but workmanship is beyond below poor quality. Hallmark Homes are happy to pass this over to me.

I tried being nice only to have it implied that I am a liar. The level of customer service my builder offers is appalling. They absolutely refuse to install the…
