In construction it's illegal for one party (builder or
contractor) to make changes to the project, after the contract is signed, without the other party’s (owner’s)
knowledge. To do so is fraud. However, that’s exactly what Pulte Homes did with
the house that they built under contract with me in 2004. And, they did the same between 2004 and 2007 with hundreds of other customers as well.
The contact that I signed with Pulte Homes in spring, 2004
was for the Wysteria model at Sun City Hilton Head, SC. The model home was
built in 2003. The model home, along with all other houses that Pulte Homes
built at Sun City Hilton Head in 2003, had hurricane clips at connections
between valley trusses and main roof trusses.
Sometime after I signed the
contract with Pulte Homes to build my house, Pulte Homes decided WITHOUT NOTIFYING ME, ON THEIR OWN,
to substitute two nails for hurricane clips at the valley truss/main roof truss
connections--on my house, and hundreds of others as well.

No, Mr. Cherry. It wasn't a mistake. It was DELIBERATE ON PULTE HOMES' PART and IT WAS FRAUD.
PS Neither screws nor nails are a hurricane clip. IT'S STILL FRAUD.
