HE STATED THAT THE PAINT WORK WAS COMPLETED BUT QUALITY OF WORK WAS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO OWNER. HE ALSO BECAME INVOLVED IN SUPPLYING CONTACTS FOR MRS. BAKER FOR OTHER WORK SHE WANTED COMPLETED.

WHEN I ASKED WHO MIGHT HAVE INSTALLED THE NEW CABINETS DAVID SAID BEN AND JOE MAY HAVE BUT HE COULD NOT SAY FOR SURE. WHEN ASKED WHO MIGHT HAVE INSTALLED THE NEW WINDOWS HE SAID THE NEW WINDOWS WERE INSTALLED WHEN HE MADE FIRST VISIT SO HE DID NOT KNOW. I ASKED IF JIMMY PRICHETT HAD DONE WORK ON THIS JOB AND HE SAID HE DID NOT SEE HIM THERE BUT MRS. BAKER HAD SAID HE WAS DOING SOME WORK FOR HER. I WILL CONTACT JIMMY PRICHETT TO INQUIRE EXTENT OF WORK HE PERFORMED.
07-14-2017	04:59 PM	UPDATE/NOTES	MET WITH DARRYL KINCHEN AND MANNY LOPEZ WHO WAS THE FOREMAN ON THIS PROJECT. THEY PRESENTED A COPY OF THE INVOICE FOR THIS PROJECT DATED 12/7/2016. INVOICE LISTS TILE WORK, DRYWALL WORK, REPLCING HARDI PANEL AND PAINTING. INVOICE IS FOR $10,000.00 AND SHOWS A $5,000.00 DEPOSIT AND BALANCE OF $5,000.00. THEY ALSO PRESENTED AN INVOICE FOR REFINISHING TERAZZO FLOOR FOR $5,130.00 DATED 1/6/2017. THEY STATED THAT THIS BILL WAS DISPUTED AND NEVER PAID. ATTEMPTED REFINISH OF TERAZZO FLOOR WAS UNACCEPTABLE TO CUSTOMER AND PURSUIT FOR PAYMENT WAS NEVER INITIATED. I ASKED IF THEY HAD REPLACED THE WINDOWS AS MRS. BAKER CLAIMED, THEYSAID THAT THE HARDI-PANEL WORK WAS ON THE FRONT AND BATHROOM BAY WINDOW AREAS AND THAT THEY HAD TO REMOVE THOSE WINDOWS TO REPLACE THE SIDING AND THAT SHE HAD NEW WINDOWS ONSITE AND THAT THEY HAD INSTALLED A NEW WINDOW IN THE FRONT BAY WINDOW WHEN REPLACING BUT THE OLD WINDOW WAS REINSTALLED IN THE BATHROOM. I ASKED IF THEY HAD DEMOED THE BATHROOM AS MRS. BAKER CLAIMED. THEY SAID THAT WHEN THEY SHOWED UP TO START THE PAINTING THE KITCHEN CABINETS AND THE BATHROOM SINK HAD BEEN REMOVED AND WHERE SITTING ON THE FLOOR AND THAT THEY HAD MOVED THEM TO THE FRONT YARD SO THEY COULD WORK. I ASKED IF THEY KNEW WHO HAD REMOVED THE CABINETS AND THEY BELIEVED THE SOMEONE NAMED JIMMY WAS ONSITE AND THAT HE HAD POSSIBLY REMOVED THE CABINETS. I SHARED THAT MRS, BAKER HAD SAID THAT A JIMMY PRITCHETT HAD DONE THE SCREENROOM AND PATIO ON THE BACK AND THEY SAID THEY THOUGHT THAT THIS WAS PROBABLY THE SAME GENTLEMAN AND THAT HE HAD INSTALLED METAL ROOFING ON THE BACK PORCH AREA OF THE HOME. I ASKED IF THEY HAD ENLISTED ANY OTHER SUB-CONTRACTORS TO PERFORM WORK AT THIS SITE AND THEY SAID NO BUT THEY KNEW MRS. BAKER HAD AARON HURETT WORKING ON THE ELECTRIC ADDING AN OUTLET FOR HER MOBILE HOME. I ASKED IF THEY KNEW OF A DAVID LUSBY AND THEY SAID THEY BELIEVED HE WAS A PAINTER WITH COMPANY NAME OF PRECISE PAINTING. AFTER MEETING I LOOKED UP PRECISE PAINTING WHICH HAS LYLE WILSON AS QUALIFIER. I CALLED LYLE AND GOT A PHONE NUMBER FOR DAVID LUSBY 633-9042. I ASKED LYLE IF HE KNEW OF A JIMMY PRITCHETT AND HE SAID HE BELIEVED HE WAS POSSIBLY WORKING UNDER A NATHAN BREWER. I LOOKED UP NATHAN BREWER AND HE IS A CERTIFIED CLASS B CONTRACTOR AND QUALIFIES TCR ENTERPRISES, 441-1090. I WILL CALL DAVID LUSBY AND NATHAN BREWER NEXT WEEK TO FURTHER INQUIRE ABOUT WORK AT THIS PROJECT.
07-12-2017	09:28 AM	INITIAL INSPECTION	MADE SITE VISIT AND SPOKE WITH MRS. BAKER ABOUT HER COMPLAINT. HER INITIAL RESPONSE WAS "WHUCH ONE?" THROUGH CONVERSATION SHE REVEALED THAT SHE HIRED AN ATTORNEY TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT AGAINST OTG CONSTRUCTION AND THAT SHE WAS FILING CRIMINAL CHARGES AGAINST ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL WHO HAD DONE WORK AT HER HOME. DIRECTING CONVERSATION BACK TO HER COMPLAINT AGAINST OTG I ASKED WHAT WORK THEY HAD PERFORMED. SHE SAID THEY HAD PAINTED, REMOVED VANITY AND SINK IN A BATHROOM, REPLACED WINDOWS AND ATTEMPTED REPAIR OF TERAZZO FLOOR. WHEN I ASKED IF THEY HAD REPLACED THE VANITY AND SINK SHE SAID SOMEONE ELSE HAD REPLACED THEM. HER COMPLAINT WAS THAT THE PAINT HAD TO BE REDONE BECAUSE INEXPERIENCED HELPERS HAD DONE THE WORK AND THAT THE FLOOR REPAIR WAS UNACCEPTABLE ALTHOUGH SHE DIVULDGED THAT SHE HAD NOT PAID FOR THE ATTEMPTED REPAIR WORK. SHE SAID THAT A DAVID LUSBY WAS HIRED TO REPAINT. SHE WAS UNSURE OF THE SPELLING OF HIS NAME AND WE HAVE NO RECORD OF A DAVID LUSBY LICENSED IN THIS COUNTY. WHEN ASKED WHO REPLACED THE BATHROOM VANITY SHE SAID JOE MESSANA HAD REPLACED THE VANITY AND INSTALLED NEW KITCHEN CABINETS. I ASKED IF SHE HAD CONTACTED MR. MESSANA SHE SAID MR, LUSBY HAD CONTACTED MR. MESSANA IN HER BEHALF. SHE WAS NOT HAPPY WITH MR. MESSANA'S WORK EITHER. SHE THEN OFFERED THAT A JIMMY PRITCHETT HAD INSTALLED AN ALUMINUM SCREENROOM AND PAN ROOF SYSTEM AND AN ALUMINUM PAN ROOF SYSTEM OVER A REAR PATIO AND THAT THIS WORK WAS NOT DONE CORRECTLY EITHER. AGAIN WE HAVE NO JIMMY PRITCHETT LICENSED IN OUR COUNTY. SHE ALSO SAID MR. PRITCHETT HAD INSTALLED A METAL ROOF ON THE REAR PORCH FLAT ROOF AREA SOME TIME AGO WHEN SHE FIRST PURCHASED THIS HOME. MR. PRITCHETT IS THE INDIVIDUAL THAT SHE IS FILING CRIMINAL CHARGES AGAINST. SHE SAYS THAT SHE WAS OVER CHARGED FOR MATERIALS THAT SHE HAD PAID FOR. MRS. BAKER EXPRESSED IN EVERY CASE THAT SHE HAD QUESTIONED IF PERMITTING WAS REQUIRED AND ALL INVOLVED ALWAYS SAID NONE WAS NEEDED. I HAVE BEEN TO THIS ADDRESS IN DECEMBER ON A CALL OF UNLICENSED CONTRACTOR DOING ELECTRICAL WORK. AARON HURRET WAS FOUND WORKING ON REPLACING THE ELECTRIC PANEL. AARON HAS BEEN APPROVED TO TAKE THE ELECTRICAL EXAM FOR LICENSURE BUT HAD NOT PASSED THE EXAM. HE WAS ISSUED A CITATION FOR UNLICENSED ACTIVITY. MRS. BAKER HAD APPARENTLY HIRED HIM TO REPLACE THE PANEL. A LICENSED CONTRACTOR OBTAINED A PERMIT IN JANUARY AND COMPLETED THE WORK. MRS. BAKER ALSO OBTAINED A HOMEOWNER PERMIT FOR THE FENCE IN NOVEMBER BUT NEVER CALLED FOR INSPECTION. A LICENSED MECHANICAL CONTRACTOR ALSO OBTAINED A PERMIT TO REPLACE THE A/C SYSTEM IN DECEMBER BUT INSPECTION WAS NEVER REQUESTED FOR THAT PROJECT EITHER. WHEN THERE IN DECEMBER I NOTICED THAT PAINTING WAS BEING DONE AND WHEN ELECTRICAL INSPECTION WAS PERFORMED ON FEBRUARY 13 HOME APPEARED READY FOR HABITATION. ALUMINUM SCREENROOM AND PATIO ROOF WAS NOT PRESENT WHEN THIS INSPECTION WAS PERFORMED. I CALLED DARRYL KINCHEN OF OTG CONSTRUCTION TO GARNER EXTENT OF SCOPE OF HIS WORK.
