Revdex.com , ***, and other parties ,

Let me start by saying deposits depending on the project and situation are collected , at least by me , for one reason. That reason is to protect myself and my company from customers or potential customers that have no interest in respecting my time, my money, and my other ongoing projects. *** and I had many in depth and detailed conversations via text, email, and by phone. So *** to say that their was no communication is absurd on all levels. I am a working buisness owner in a field with high demand during this time of year, which means if I have to leave my phone in my truck while I work outside of my truck , just so I can get something done and move on to the next job, then that’s what I do. Once I agree on doing your project and get a signed contract back from ***, then I’m contracted to do his project . But I’m not contracted to answer everyone of their meaningless phone calls about details we had already discussed . When *** had told me he can not do the project anymore , he said it’s because he decided he couldn’t afford it. Not that it’s because I didn’t answer his phone call or didn’t show up on a scheduled date. Which is a false statement by him , I never told him I would be their working on a specific date , but I did say at least 5 times that I would start his house as soon as the job I was on is finished AND as soon as I get the Mini ex needed to do the dig. I have hours and hours of work out into his project that he doesn’t seem to understand. Me taking time out of my schedule on 3 separate occasions and go out to his house take some measurements, figure out if what he wants us even possible, blue stakes, laying out the job , and getting the preconstruction phase of the job completed. Also he offered to let me have $100 for the work I had done to that point, no thank you *** I’ll keep the deposit, if you want me to do your basement walkout I’ll be glad to continue further.

*** wouldn’t enjoy going out and working for free, so *** don’t expect people to work for you for free.

This complaint by *** is a valid complaint that anyone would be upset about and want taken care of . As I told *** numerous times before, “I will take care of the lien!”

This property has been a nightmare since day one. I had done some retaining walls for ***’s neighbor that like always they showed the true craftsmanship and quality that my crews provide our customers day in and day out. Their beautiful walls . But to be able to provide these beautiful walls the owner of this home also paid what I charged him . 50’ of wall costs about $10k , ***’s budget was $5k for 120 feet of wall. Which is about cost of materials . Also keep in mind I’m subcontracted from *** from a different contractor he had hired, which is

“HOUSEWORKS DBA THE LANDSCAPE COMPANY OWNED BY JEFF W OUT OF DRAPER, UT. “ Unlicensed company so stay away from these guys .

I poured a 3’ wall 100 feet long because Jeff and *** told me that’s what they wanted even though I asked several times if they are sure that’s as tall as they want. Cleaned up the job and left to the next job and the next day I get a call from the landscape company that *** wants it 6’ tall now, problem is we have already poured the wall . Knowing *** was broke I I’d what I thought was a favor to him and poured a 3’ cap on top of the 3’ wall to make it 6 feet. Well after they both talked me into it because I wasn’t going to do it because of obvious structural issues that could arise from this. But they talked me into it and I did it for $700 which was my fault for agreeing to do this in the first place. Long story short the landscape company and Jeff w*** never put a drainage system behind the wall instead the backfilled the day after I poured the wall with muddy dirt causing the wall to crack and eventually tip over. *** should be going and bugging the contractor instead of me

paid me 3500 cash for an unrelated project . These are two separate projects. The wall that fell I told the contractor that the 3’ tall wall wasn’t built to be a 6’ tall wall . The contractor then told me that *** won’t pay until the wall is 6’ tall even though they both told me to initially pour the wall 3’ tall . For that job to be done I need to be paid the $6500 I invoiced that hasn’t been paid. If *** or Jeff would have just paid that $6500 the job would be done in regards to the $3500 that was for a different project. That project I decided not to backcharge him for all the extra work my crew did that wasn’t part of the original work scope that I bid. My crew did the work because *** kept changing and adding things and instead of telling me. He decided to tell my crew . Probably to try and get more stuff done for free.

back to the wall that tipped over ... it tipped over because of 2 reasons

1- the contractor backfilled the day after I poured the wall

2- the contractor also didn’t put drainage system in at all
