*No access panel in garage ceiling(we recently cut the hole to comply with fire code,but the builder should install a new insulated panel and scuttle if required). *No access to plumbing behind upstairs bathtub(However,in the interest of getting these issues resolved we are willing to overlook this item). *Grade is less than 6"below the siding(however,in the interest of getting these issued resolved,we are willing to accept this near the walk-out area at the north side of house) Your immediate help in getting the builder to come back and take care of these matters will be appreciated If you require further investigation of these items,please contact us as soon as possilbe. Please carbon copy us with any citations and correspondence to the builder. The following is a list of faulty workmanship items observed at 125 Truff fla Trail,Orono,MN: *OSB sheathing on roof is warped in certain areas,causing a"wavy"appearance. This is V either due to improper ventilation(not allowing moisture to escape),lack of separation of OSB boards,improper nailing,and/or over-weathering of the sheathing causing buckling at the seams of the OSB. If that was the case,then these boards,at the very least should have been sanded before roofing paper and shingles were applied. It is also possible that the OSB simply wasn't nailed properly in these wavy areas,causing them to lift. Now that the shingles have settled after the winter months,it is apparent that there is a problem. We would appreciate your observations of this faulty workmanship in writing. *Roof repair needed as previously observed. Per your conversation with Mike,please adjust your letter dated June 29th,regarding the builder's roof repair in the valley and comer areas indicating that he did not do the substantial repair as you had previously recommended As roofing contractors agree,putting a triangular piece of metal higher on the wall will do nothing for the problem. Thank you for your help. ty, 4"� Mike and Lori Ame P.S. At your earliest convenience,please reinspect our fuse box where Mr. Olson hooked up the septic pump wire to make sure that we don't have a safety issue here. P.S.S. We have just been informed by two of our neighbors that the developer,Earl Fischer,took a great deal of dirt from our property(just before closing)from the north side of our birm and moved it to use as backfill and grading for the Adam's home (200 Truff da Trail,at end of culdesac). Maybe you could assist us in getting the developer to deliver dirt back to our property so that we can replace it at the end of the birm,as needed.
