The wind blew, there was a loud noise, and cracks opened up in the kitchen and bedroom ceilings and walls. This is how Pulte fixes it:

"That's no fix at all", you say?

You're right! A house that cracks when the wind blows needs more than some OSB board and a little spackling. There's a SERIOUS problem with the framing of this house that it can't resist wind without cracking.

Needless to say, a properly designed and constructed house doesn't crack when the wind blows. A Pulte house does. (Where do you suppose that the building inspector was at the framing inspection?)

CAVEAT EMPTOR--LET THE BUYER BEWARE!

flooring

I just finished installing 750 sq. ft. of Pergo laminate wood flooring in my Wysteria. About 2 years ago I put Pergo flooring in the study, which is about one quarter the size of the great room, dining room, and hall that I just finished.

I’m pleased with the product—Pergo. I’m pleased with the installation (if I do say so myself). The thing that I’m not pleased with is the WAY out-of-level concrete slab that is under the flooring. There’s more “break” in the concrete slab than there is on many of the greens here.

It wasn’t until I was past the “point-of-no return” (flooring bought and carpeting removed) that I realized just how out of level that the slab is—WAY out of level—WAY beyond the manufacturer’s specs.

I followed the flooring instructions—vapor barrier on top of the slab and one quarter inch gap at the perimeter (“floating”). The finished flooring “gives” in spots. You can hear “hollow” spots when you walk over it. It looks good now. I’m hoping that it will “settle down” eventually without the seams breaking and separating. We’ll see.

Pulte “GREEN”

Sick:

o From the mold in your walls caused by defective stucco

o Because your roof blew off during the hurricane and all your belongings are ruined

o Because your roof leaks

o Because your slab is cracked and your floors aren’t level

o Of the shoddy concrete work

.o From all those dollars paid for shoddy construction, including infrastructure and common property
o For having to repair or replace it

o From the dishonesty, recklessness and arrogance

o Of being treated like a child
