Some of you may know me, some may not. I am the guy whose home was flooding in Oct. 2014. I have foundation/HOA problems. (see http://www.houserepairtalk.com/showthread.php?t=18446) Continuing on with that. The HOA's initial contractor/construction vendor has in his invoice,"The wall is...

Our lawyer told us to hire the ECR company we hired in 2010. ECR was the company the HOA told they couldn't touch the outside. He found a lot of problems, dome of which never even occured to me. He found what looks like a dryer cutout with not cover that has water damage, that the entire window...

So far as I know that's what to 2010 "gravel" fix was. An attempt to improve drainage in the window well. But aside from the dirt and gravel, no there not any kind of drain. That's what I think the HOA was trying to improve by digging a little and adding more gravel. The window well doesn't...

That's the big problem. I can't hire anyone to do anything with the outside foundation because that is the HOA's "property" and they are responsible. In 2010 when we had a flood and water damage, the company we hired wanted to dig and address the issue and the HOA put a stop to it. They told...

So I want to clarify a few things. 1- yes we have been displaced. In fact we have been displaced from our home since Oct. 08, 2014. It doesn't do much good for me to be there as I have absolutely zero say in what takes place. Because we live in a condominium, the HOA has all say with what is...

I will try to post pictures from the outside as soon as I am able. We have been displaced and don't go to the house much. I will go get an external picture though.

Man oh man, where to start on this story. First of all, I know I have foundation problems, second of all I really suspect I have framing problems, and thirdly, I live in a condo and I am dealing with the HOA who is trying to cheap fix the problem which I am terrified is going to create a problem...
