Dear Cliff,

Thank you for your patience—it took a bit to find the plans. Also, my husband was not able to take down the microwave at this time. Please let me know if there’s anything else you need from us.

See attached photos for reference of electrical plans and of water intrusion that occurred. I have a video of my hand splashing in the pool of water inside my house; if you’d like me to send that as well, let me know.

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

Dear Cliff, After careful consideration over the weekend, I am going to decline Mr. Ripps’ offer. If the circumstances were different, I would gladly allow Mr. Ripps to continue to work at my property. Unfortunately, Mr. Ripps has shown that he is unable to follow through with his obligations to complete my home. He had a month per the directive received to show he was serious in getting this work completed, and he failed to do so. I would like to wait until you come back to inspect my property again before any more work happens. I have waited over a year to get this work completed, so I can wait a couple more weeks. Again, if Mr. Ripps had shown he had serious intentions on completing my home with quality work, I would not have had to start this process in the first place.

Thank you for providing me this information and, as always, your time.

Best, Brianna

Mr. Ripps has contacted me to say he is wanting and willing to continue correcting the Written Directive items even though the directive time frame has passed. Mr. Ripps told me that the screen man is available within two week and would like to schedule the installation. Mr. Ripps also said he would be willing to give specific dates for the scheduling of the other items. The way the statutes read and the way the ROC works is that after the Written Directive time frame runs out, the Complainant is no longer required to allow the Respondent on the property to make any repairs. Ms. Hardin, you are under no obligation to allow further access after the Directive time frame runs out, but after having done this job for quite awhile, I always encourage communication and cooperation, I do prefer to see things get corrected if at all possible. I did also tell Mr. Ripps that I would pass on his offer. Thank you for your consideration, have a nice weekend.

Roof Repair—There is a leak in the roof near the entry way. A portion of the roof around the rounded entry way is unfinished. George was made aware of this months ago but did not act on it.; Water Damage Repair—There is water damage in the entry way coat closet ceiling, walls, and surrounding baseboards caused by a roof leak/unfinished roof that George was made aware of prior. ; Jet Tub (Master Bath)—Not plumbed in or hooked up whatsoever. Simply placed in the opening as a space holder..; Exterior Storage Door—Missing lock. Also, not an exterior door.; Missing Exterior Lights—2 lights are missing on the exterior of the house in the back yard.; Exterior Shower Ceiling—large holes in the ceiling. George stated he would have someone tile the ceiling to match the shower instead of truly patching the holes and re-stuccoing the area.; Kitchen Cabinets Trim—Gaps are present under the cabinets where the cabinets are and the trim has come off (currently stuck back on by us using double-sided tape).; Grout around Spare Bathtub—Grout around the bath tub in the spare bath tub has large areas that are not grouted allowing water to get into the space.; Electrical Issues—The light switches throughout the house are not wired properly (e.g. fan and light are on the same switch, not separate); outlet in the master bedroom has no power to it; multiple “blank switches,” per George, throughout the house for lights that are actually not wired correctly (e.g. back patio lightsx2 and fan with light are all activated by 1 switch instead of separate switches).; Microwave Vent—The microwave was moved approximately 1 foot to the left and the exterior vent was never moved and hooked up to the microwave. George said this would be done and acted surprised when we told him it still was not completed but is now denying stating it would be completed and operable. George stated it was our fault for asking him to reconfigure the kitchen during construction stage. ; Window Screens—There are no screens on any of the windows of the house and George stated multiple times he was going to order screens or have someone sent over to measure for them, both of which never happened. Most recently, George stated he was “waiting for the weather to get better” because he “figured [we] didn’t open the windows.”; Granite in Kitchen near cooktop—There is a crack in the granite in the kitchen in front of the cooktop which is poorly patched; AC/Heater Issues—The AC/Heater does not blow in the spare bedrooms or bathroom.

Granite in Kitchen near cooktop—There is a crack in the granite in the kitchen in front of the cooktop which is poorly patched. Outside of these issues, Troy had to install the cooktop and ovens which do not have silicone around them. George told us that he was originally planning to list the house for $585,000 but, because of the requested changes, he sold it to us for $605,000. I had to write multiple extra checks out to George for things like the back fence, appliances, and I even had to pay the deposit for the granite countertops because George didn’t and they granite company would not start processing our order until they had the deposit. We have been in the house since June of 2022 and have been more than patient for these issues to be resolved. Received 08/23/2023 ROC Legal
