Crosstown Engineering has agreed to do a site visit on the home. They are requesting Denis
McVea not be present during the evaluation. They can come as early as tomorrow. They will
need access to the inside of the home. Let me know if this will work.

Thank you,

Wendy Vaughn

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
