I am trying to find an article that I read in FH within the last few years. I believe it was a book review of a non-Taunton publication. The book was an attempt to describe in fairly objective terms what acceptable levels of finish are/are not in new construction. My memory’s hazy, but I seem to recall it giving examples like “Drywall joints should not be visible from X feet away.” That’s a little simplistic, but you get the idea. The article’s author seemed to like the concept and thought that it had the potential for eliminating a lot of disputes between owners and builders by setting forth objective standards that both parties could refer to.
I would appreciate it someone who might remember this better than myself could post the issue this appeared in. Sorry for such a vague description.
My searches of the FH archives didn’t turn up anything right on point, but it seems they do not post all book reviews, so my searching was somewhat limited in scope.
