Need picture. You will probably not notice them being off but there is probably nothing you can do. By changing this one thing you may throw something else off that will be even more noticeable.

"battons are 4 ft width"

??

hi thanks sorry i meant the boards are 4ft width.

Pictures would help.

Have the 'boards' removed and reinstalled the way you want them.

Below is a photo. i think because of windows on forst floor i cant take off and reinstall boards because will have to throw them out - thanks thanks!

Not clear who 'I' and 'we' are in your postings but, under normal circumstances, this should be the contractor's problem to fix and his loss. Not yours.

putty will only enhance the issue. Cut to fit with seam under the batten.

I would assume the OP would be footing the bill for any changes.

After seeing the image, I recommend continuing on with the construction as is. I would be more concerned about the left eave being higher than the right eave, but NOT concerned enough to make any change at this point in construction.

"1 keep as is."

Thanks Mark correct - I would be footing the fill for any changes (whether I should be or should not). The change in pitch on the roof was intentional. So you think keep as is as oppose to repainting?

Just for kicks, have them install one batten a little crooked just to see if anyone notices.

The builder should have started at the eve with the seam and worked his way out from there on each side. That would drive me crazy.

Just for the record a baton is 1 : cudgel, truncheon specifically : billy club · 2 : a staff borne as a symbol of office · 3 : a narrow heraldic bend · 4 : a slender rod ... A batten is something used in construction. A batten is a long, flat strip of squared wood or metal used to hold something in place or as a fastening against a wall. There! :-)

"I would be footing the fill for any changes"

Do you mean, "I would be footing the bill for any changes"

"So you think keep as is as oppose to repainting?"

Do you mean, "So you think keep as is as oppose to repairing?"

I think, based upon the information provided, paying for work to be redone would be a waste of money. Chances are nobody will notice or care about such details. Even in my sketch of the board & batten gable I do not notice the crooked batten right away.

Why are the wall top plates on the second floor at different elevations? That's what looks odd, and attracts attention. Is there a specific reason for it?
