Re: pay for my roof???......i don't THINK so!!!!!!!!!!

More | Report Post

aside from defining "fair" as needing maint. or replacement in the
future, I said the roof was nearing the end of it's useful life,
said it was 15-20 years old and most roofs last 18-25 years, noted
signs of water leaks in the attic.

the buyer caimed the roof leaked shortly after closing in
september. he NEVER contacted me. he had the roof replaced in
november, paid only half the money (2,500 of a 5,000 bill) and
told the roofer to sue him for the rest because he did not like
the job.

THEN the buyer sent an e-mail to the local "fox 2 tv problem
solvers" and told them in the e-mail that I said "all was well"
with the roof.

the fox 2 problem solvers then turned the complaint over to a
neighborhood mediation service in january, THEY called me....the
buyer NEVER called me.

the day fox 2 problem solvers called me, i went to the buyer's
house...the house i inspected. he was not there, there were no
curtains on the front picture window. i looked in. he had the
place completely torn apart. he was doing a total renovation. he
had pulled electric permits, roof permit and a plumbing permit.
they added a new bathroom on the second floor, he also had cement
work done and never paid the cement man.

this 24 year old buyer/kid had run out of money and was trying to
get me to pay for his rehab....PS that house was in move-in
condition when i inspected it.

i spoke to the roofer that put the new roof on, he told me the
roof was not leaking when he replaced. I sent the roofer a copy
of the e-mail the buyer/kid sent to fox 2 news.

the buyer also told the roofer he is going to sue the seller for
some issue with the brick. he said it is not really a brick
house????

anyway, i agreed to meet at a mediation hearing with the
buyer/kid, scheduled the meeting, the kid cancelled the mediation
hearing because he had a meeting he had to attend at work. he is
a DJ.

I hope this changes the opinions of you lawyers a little......or
do you still think this buyer has a prayer.
