They stated they were unable to crawl under the property because the scuttle hole was too small.
They are recommending a larger access to be installed so they can further evaluate.

As stated in my prior email they were unwilling to visit the home with Mrs. McVea present. I
spoke to their owner again just a moment ago and here are his stipulations:

1. An SAPD SAFFE Officer must be present during his inspection.

2. He will not communicate with the homeowner and he will not stay if she chooses to
communicate with him.

3. When he enters the home he is requesting she not be near him during the inspection and the
Officer stays with him.

4. If these demands are not met or if she is abusive to him at all he will leave the property,
charge us for the inspection, and they will not return to the property or provide any findings if
they were unable to complete the evaluation.

5. If the above happens we will no longer work with Mrs. McVea and our attorney will
proceed with the original lawsuit. If you agree to this then the engineer is requesting to do the
inspection Monday 5/24 – arriving between 2:30pm and 3:00pm.

Please let me know.

Good afternoon Mrs. Vaughn,

I spoke with Mrs. McVea this afternoon and she will be present for the inspection. Mrs. McVea
said that with DSD present she would prefer to stay in the house during the inspection. She would
provide access to the interior of the house to take measurements and complete any interior
inspections. As the access under the house is from the exterior, I am assuming the time inside the
house would be minimum. The availability for next week that will work for Mrs. McVea and myself
are:

Monday May 24th between 2:30 and 4:30 PM

Wednesday May 26th between 9:00 and 11:30 AM

Friday May 28th anytime

If the engineer would like to have an SAPD SAFFE Officer present for the inspection in addition to
myself, please let me know and I will schedule this as well.

Thank you,

Jeremy McDonald

I’ll ask the engineers how they feel about her presence. I realize you don’t
understand the severity of her aggression because at this point you are
complying. However, the engineers and my staff have personally dealt with
this and police reports have been filed. At this point I will leave it up to
Crosstown but in talking with them they have been other only ones agreeing
to go and only if Denise was not present. I will call and ask again, but I’m
pretty certain it will be a no.

Good morning Mrs. Vaughn,

I can discuss this request with Mrs. McVea. If she requests to be


present, DSD can be present as well. Also, if all parties agree, DSD
can request a SAPD SAFFE Officer present during the inspection.

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,

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.

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

your contract with Ms. McVea. Please feel free

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 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

McVea - Wyoming St.

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
