I completely understand. Since the original engineer is unwilling to work with her due to her
behavior and safety of his employees it will take time to find any engineer willing to put their
employees in harm's way. I am doing my best to find an engineer at our expense although at
this point there has been no provided documentation stating the original work we did is not
functioning properly. I will keep you posted.

Good morning Wendy, please let us know as soon as you have an engineers evaluation. We
do not expect you to make any repairs outside your original scope of work. At this point my
manager is only requesting a timeline having this evaluation performed and the required
repairs made, he is requesting this as soon as possible. Thanks again, Gregory

I see. Thank you for clarifying. We will be happy to repair any issues that fall under our
scope of work. I'll reach out to another engineer to see if someone is willing to step in and
do a full evaluation on this home. Once an inspection has been done we will repair anything
under our warranty and scope of work to the home. We can not repair wood or level that
area of the home until the homeowner chooses to replace the wood in that area as our bid
stated. I'll reach out to a few engineers and get back to you all by the first of next week.
Thank you and have a great weekend!

Yes sorry Wendy, I am a city residential building inspector and not an engineer, my email
only addresses the most obvious telltale signs of a severe foundation failure. Mr.
McDonald only requested that I send you an email noting what we observed the day of
our site visit. Again I don’t know the specific’s of your contract with Ms. McVea. Please
feel free to discuss your options with Mr. Jeremy McDonald. Thanks Gregory

To make sure I understand, so you did not crawl under the home to see that our work was
completed? We did not backfill the home with dirt. We did the repairs and were able to
get in the crawlspace as you see it now. If the floors are not level and the sonotubes we
installed need to be adjusted then we would absolutely do that. However, the customer
was provided a bid for joist and wood would need to be replaced to get the home more
level in the back left room. So I'm having a hard time understanding if the property wasn't
crawled, how can you know with absolute certainty what is needed?

Good morning Wendy, I was not able to enter access to crawl space it was back filled
with dirt. The separation I’m referring to is on the right side of the home; the 2” cast
iron DWV has separated.

Is there an active plumbing leak?

Good morning Hayden, As you know we made another site visit to 1006 Wyoming
St. Our concerns were not with any of the cosmetic aspects of the home but rather its
structural elements. During our visit there was no question that the floors were not
level, doors and windows were misaligned not properly functioning, there was some
plumbing separation that had occurred, and last but not least there was obvious signs
of twisting and bending of framing members. These are all indications of severe
foundation failure. With this being said, I would recommend completely re-leveling
the home to re-establish the homes stability and structural integrity. Please let us
know your thoughts and intent for resolving these particular issues? Thanks Gregory

Mr. Lehman,

The initial scope of work involved removing and replacing 45 existing Sonotubes and
installing 142' of skirting. I have attached the original invoice and the repair plan.
Thanks,

Hayden Slack

Thank you Hayden, I appreciate you getting back to me so quickly. I have gone
ahead and called the Engineer of Record Mr. Christopher Hewitt as you
recommended. I am presently waiting for a response to my voice message left with
his office. As we wait; would it be possible for me to see a copy of your original
scope of work? This will hopefully ensure that everyone is on the same page with
any repairs needed from issues identified during the revisit inspection. Thanks
again, Gregory

Mr. Lehman,

I believe we spoke a few weeks ago regarding Ms. McVea. You referred me to
Jeremy McDonald who is in charge of the strike force.

Jeremy and I spoke and I communicated to him that G.L. Hunt is more than willing
to rectify any issues that remain within our original scope of work. I recounted our
experience with Ms. McVae including the numerous times she has accused us of
working on behalf of some shadowy organization that is determined to harm her. I
also told him that she harassed an existing staff member via text message. As a
result of her actions, we will not be communicating with her directly ever again.

We discussed how to move forward in a way that would allow me to keep my staff
safe.

I recommended to Mr. McDonald that we would like the city to have the engineer
of record (G.L. Hunt will pay the fee) revisit the property, identify any issues and
provide a line item list of recommended repairs for issues that fall within our
original scope of work.

We would then schedule a date to make those repairs.

Thanks,

Hayden Slack
