Bootstrap 4 carousel image inconsistency

Question

I'm creating a sample construction site. I've made a carousel however when the images slide they bounce in size. Also when the carousel is resized to mobile the images are difference heights.

<!doctype html>

<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
    <title>Sample Construction Site</title>
    <meta name="description" content="Construction Site">
