Homeless Homeowner

[Kenny]

It sounds like everyone was prepared for this kind of construction except for the guy that laid the sewage line and the guy that lives there. I think he needs the right person to put his mind at ease with a thorough explanation of why this is happening. He seems to have the idea in his mind that there are underground rivers cutting canyons under his house, and he's gonna wake up in a sinkhole. He needs someone to explain that the lowering moisture content, and probably a very high percentage of organic material that is decomposing is the culprit, and was expected hence the piers. He has paid for this house while feeling it is unlivable and that he has been duped, so that would lead me to the conclusion that he is not out to get something for nothing. My advice would be fix the plumbing, get the HVAC back on to control the moisture before he has to do a giant black mold abatement job, and move back home.



One piece of advice that I can give from experience: Don't let the wife feed your neurosis until you have talked to some pros. This advice may or may not be applicable here, just sayin'...............
