......................We are prepping everything for court. Feelings of frustration and deep stress overwhelming me. Why do we have to go through any of this? This feels like it has been another full time job for nearly two years. In my opinion, criminal charges should be charged on this builder and any county official who might have assisted in what seems to me as a big ball of cheating, fraud and selfishness. My anger only grows bigger as this time continues to pass without resolve.

Builder's lawyer did send a settlement offer after the second news story aired but it was not something that would work for us .... nor did I find it fair or reasonable. I do not understand ... why does it seem so hard to make this bad situation good? Is there more than I realize that they might be hiding? I know several of my neighbors have shared their issues and concerns with us and I am wondering how many other homes have issues.....how many other homeowners are going through this.....how many homeowners are unaware of their issues or their rights? I have the ripoffreport.com book and I am getting ready to follow the instructions. I am getting together others to go pickett the office of this builder, place signs on my yard, place a sign on my car window. I think it is time to push harder for what I believe is right, and do all I can to help my situation and hopefully help somebody else who has a similar situation.

Builder is now countersuing me. They are saying things like defamation and that supposedly I have prevented them from selling homes. What???? They had issues selling before I even bought my house. Defamation is stating something untrue...but I have not said anything untrue. I believe I have the right to speak my opinion and share my story. It is called the 1st amendment. Oh well.....I guess they want to create as much pain and suffering on me they can. What can I do? I am stuck. I have no choice but to keep fighting. We cannot keep living with these horrible issues, we cannot walk away....we have a mortgage, house is county failed and too many issues to sell to anybody and I feel these people are crooks, cheaters and liars. I cannot say I know their intentions. But I know what I feel and I know that this is a battle that should NEVER have to be fought....EVER!

Since my original posting, the county came out based on my request. They failed the plumbing and the building. It is viewable on the county web site or on the FaceBook: Upset Homeowner. Later they gave me a letter describing the code violations. My lawyer has filed my case in court and there is still no resolve because the court process is taking place step by step. Would be nice in my opinion if these people would own up and talk it out with us to make a reasonable solution together. I know I am willing to be reasonable and I just want this chapter in my life resolved and closed.

In my opinion, I feel that they are hoping I will just go away. In my opinion, I believe they have people watching me and following me. In my opinion, I feel that these people are bullies and are arrogant enough to believe that they can get away with anything without having to suffer any consequences...in my opinion.

The news came back out to discuss code violations. They met the the county as well. I am not sure what was all said but I know it airs on NBC17 dot com on July 30th at 6pm and 11pm (this is what I was told anyway.) In my opinion, I would like to have the county get more involved and enforce codes better. In my opinion, I would like the NC State Government to conduct a full investigation to find out why my house received a Certificate of Occupancy when I believe it never should have received it. (The county determined and the ground was dug and photos taken to confirm that the code required drainage system for around the footings of the foundation and under the concrete slab of the garage and driveway was never installed) In my opinion, that one of many things wrong with my house should have caused this house to not receive the certificate of occupancy. In my opinion, the house never should have been built on the foundation until that requirement was in place.

In my opinion, I beleive there is a great lack of desire on the part of officials to ensure code enforcement is properly conducted in certain areas. In my opinion, it is all about placing blame instead of just owning it, correcting it and going on. In my opinion, they fight more to avoid responsibility than to just do it right. In my opinion, they should have said, "oooops, sorry, made a mistake, let's get this taken care of." But in my opinion, they refuse to hold themselves accountable and would rather fight than offer a reasonable solution to make it right....in my opinion.

Would really love to find a good resolution so we can find a way to enjoy our home. Still haven't heard back from the builder about wanting to come to see these issues for themselves. I am guessing that I have enough photos online for them to see. Really sad this has been happening. In my opinion, too many others have also been frusterated with their homes built by this builer and/or his family members. In my opinion, I am just the loudest and most passionate ... so far.

Have another home inspector who is conducting more inspections and who has been taking many more photos....so more photos to come shortly. I cannot get into some areas because of my injuries from the car accident....he was able to.

I have no other choice but to fight this all the way. We feel stuck! We can't sell the house because of all these issues, living here has been terrible because of all the issues...and we just have to keep fighting until it is all made right. I believe I am not suppose to complete any repairs because I think I am supposed to give the builder the first right of refusal....but then I was very confused with what the builder said on NBC17 last December about getting the repairs done and sending him the bill. Because I know he never told me to do that. If he emailed it or mailed it to be, I never received that information. In my opinion, the builder is trying to make up things to try to get any negative attention off of him. In my opinion, North Carolina should crack down on builders and develop a better stronger and more useful code to make NC homes better quality. In my opinion, NC officials lack the desire to even care if homes have any quality at all.

It is a terrible shame and a sad feeling that we even have to go through this in the first place. But like I said, I am open and willing to find a reasonable resolution so this can close for all parties listed in the court case.

These are not just maintenance issues with our home and I do know the difference between maintenance and warrantable issues. I am tired but still passionate about making this right. I certainly hope and pray more people who have had issues will come out more. In my opinion, I was lied to, cheated, and scammed. In my opinion, this builder needs to lose his license, be fined for each violation for each house and to be held 100% accountable for the issues with each house he and/or his company has ever built. (Uness they are issues that are from abuse or neglegence by the occupant.) My issues with my brand new home are not due to our family at all. These issues began 4 days after buying the house.

I do pray that honesty and integrity prevail and that we will have a win/win solution to make it all good.

I will say though....the house and the neighborhood are very pretty. In my opinion, the prettiness can hide and mask the lack of quality until one is having to live with the issues everyday. In my opinion.
