I built this coffee table and its 1/2" low in one corner. I notice it every single time I look at it. Nobody else does.
I have been threatening to fix it for 10 years.

I’m in the middle of punch listing a home for an OCD client. This thread is triggering me. Gonna have to take a moment and breathe…

I designed and built this seed spreader a few years back and my "opener lever stand" is offset. I look at it every single time I use it and wish I had done it differently. Also, been threatening to fix it but it functions good the way it is.

Get rid of the gable center post. Close that in and use shingle siding. Replace the gable post with Arts & Crafts Bugalow style gable knee braces. Add a second post to front porch half way between the existing one and end of porch. Make things symmetrical.

You must be a contractor with the luxury of spending people's money! Just kidding around!
How about center the center post and make the steps wider and call it a day and tell the homeowner that it would be 20X cheaper and faster to do it that way....lol
Oh, and just throw up some painted rough cut on the ceiling and maybe a can light or 2.

Ha, I would just have to move the front door and then it would be fine. Easy, right?

That’s a super easy fix. Knock out all the support posts except the ends and then your eye won’t catch that the door isn’t centered. Also, the sagging porch roof line would take attention from the door.

You didn't have to add insult to injury with the sagging roof line...I see that to!

It doesn't fix it completely but adding a window would have balanced it out better.
