We purchased our house, which was built in 2001, in 2005. Since we moved in we have experienced many major and minor problems, some deadly. In order of severity, they are:

1. The 2-story concrete archway over the front porch collapsed without warning. Anyone standing at our front door would have been killed.

2. We have had two gas leaks from the kitchen, both extremely dangerous and due to corroded pipes.

3. The water pressure was 2X the limit, forcing us to install a pressure relief valcve and overflow tank.

4. Windows have cracked spontaneously.

5. Doors are sticking.

The house was built less than 10 years ago and is still under warranty. We'll see what the builder says, but frankly there can be no excuse whatsoever for the inherent instability and poor quality of this house.
