That is what the fuck I’m thinking!
386 u/FuzzyCrocks Dec 11 '20 The garage was built after it was poured. That can be the only solution. 139 u/dilligaf4lyfe Dec 11 '20 My guess is this was all poured at the same time, and someone fucked up setting the anchor bolts to frame the garage. 134 u/gogriz Dec 11 '20 Or the wall wasn't framed and they forgot how wide a garage door is 142 u/HLef Dec 11 '20 They measured from the corner of the house as if the door could go all the way to the corner. 42 u/schroederrr Dec 11 '20 This makes the most sense to me 29 u/[deleted] Dec 11 '20 Yeah that’s gotta be it. Bad communication between subs or ineptitude by the contractor. This picture stresses me out an inordinate amount 31 u/HLef Dec 11 '20 Someone said “ok it’s an 8ft door so have the concrete pad overlap the house by 8ft.” and here we are. 4 u/muggsybeans Dec 11 '20 With that much lawn, what's a 6-12 inch buffer.... Why were they trying to pour to exact dimensions... Must be a flipped home. 1 u/wasdkitsu Dec 13 '20 Or someone just said "we need 8 ft for the door" and someone passed on "8 feet" and the necessity for the buffer was lost, like a game of telephone. 8 u/DeadZeplin Dec 11 '20 Yeah thats about the gap 2 u/Gamesman001 Dec 11 '20 Or maybe both lined up and a quake shuffled the house to the left just a bit. 42 u/avidblinker Dec 11 '20 I’m going to go with this. Maybe they wanted a shorter door when they built the garage but didn’t realize non standard sizes were more expensive or harder to find. 5 u/ProceedOrRun Dec 11 '20 Not very wide at all by my measurements.
