Why would you say that he should get out of the contract or question the build? The builder is doing the correct thing by paying to have it tested. Raining after the concrete was poured was beyond his control.

Now, if he refused to have it tested I would say you might have an issue. Or, if an issue comes from the inspection and the builder refuses to correct it.

Unless....you thought the pictures were actually of his concrete.

If the builder was doing the right thing, they should have been prepared to cover the slab in the event of rain.

After reading all the things that have gone on during this build I would not feel comfortable moving into that house. It is a huge investment/loan to undertake if you have doubts in your mind.

I had not read about all of the other things that you referred to. I thought your comment was just based on this situation.

The broker is a jackass. I had many issues directly with a broker so I had enough and got in touch with his boss. His boss is more than willing to cooperate with us. They also extended our closing date and promised to break out building of our house into stages. We told em we gonna walk if they rush our house so they taking a different approach right now. The closing date was moved from September to November.

Fuzz, in what field do you have your engineering degree? I spoke to an engineer that designs, examines, and repairs concrete. He said it can be pretty bad and definitely a reason to be concerned. On this one, ill side with an engineer and not a salesman.

Don't have one, that's why I said to go hire one if it is bothering you.

I have to talk folks off of ledges every day in this field, all I am trying to tell you is that what you are seeing and doing is normal. Overkill but normal.

The only thing that is not normal was the beer bottles.

IIRC your issues have been.

Delayed Start.

Beer Bottles.

Rain.

Honestly I am not trying to be a smartass here, but man, what you are experiencing is not that big of a deal.

      The problem with these summary stats and rankings is that they flatten out progression and assume an even performance throughout the year. His first 3 or 4 games of the season don't really tell you anything about his current level of capacity but more about where he started and what his floor was last year. Given his last several games were against playoff teams, that gives you an idea of his current ability coming into the season. But it will serve more as a floor than a ceiling given the upgrade in talent on offense. And a better defense should give us more stops which results in shorter fields and more opportunities. And going into his third year there is no reason to suspect he will regress. His success wasn't  based on being superhuman but being smart and taking what was the defense was giving him. Distributing to the other guys not trying to do it on his own. He was great at the end when pressured and consistently moved the ball. That makes him a great game manager which is what we need. Something that is easier to do and relies on everyone else rather than having to be a top physical specimen or do it on his own. No one can predict the future but to say we haven't improved much is crazy given just having the Browns anchoring the defensive line will shut down the run and make sure QBs won't be stepping up in the pocket.  Assuming Evero got the message to can the prevent defense and bend until you break philosophy.

      If the Canes don't bring back Tyson Jost or Jack Roslovic, is Tanner Jeannot an option? https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2025/06/senators-expected-to-show-interest-in-tanner-jeannot.html
