Extrapolation

.
Extrapolation is a scientifically proven method for taking data from a small group and applying findings to a much larger group. Engineers use extrapolation all the time. For example, engineers in manufacturing will examine and test "samples" from the production line to determine the quality (or lack thereof) of the larger group.

Other disciplines use the scientific process of extrapolation as well. Pollsters use data gathered from a small group to scientifically gain knowledge of a much larger group. Pollsters often cite “margin of error” in their findings, which uses statistics to determine the accuracy of their findings. Depending upon the size of the sample, “margin of error” for a relatively large population (people, things, observations, etc.) is usually only plus or minus a few percentage points from the data obtained from a relatively small sample set.

In a finished house much is covered up by walls, ceilings, floor finishes, etc. Only a small sample of the workmanship (or lack thereof) for the completed house can be seen. By extrapolating what is seen to what can't be seen, one can determine the workmanship (or lack thereof) of a house or group of houses.

I’ve seen enough shoddiness in Pulte's construction,

• substituting nails for hurricane clips
• then putting NO nails• or 1 nail where there is supposed to be 2
• short nails
• in split wood
• missing its target, etc.
• leaking roofs
• shingles installed improperly
• buckling stucco
• no or blocked stucco screed openings
• cracked floor slabs
• lagoons not dug to depths shown on approved plans• shoddily built control structures
• etc.

to KNOW, scientifically, that Pulte builds shoddy houses, and treats their customers poorly.

Besides, there’s PLENTY of testimony on the internet to validate my findings.

I've done what I can

.
Over the past six years I’ve discovered that:

1- Pulte Homes is dishonest, reckless and arrogant. They build shoddy houses and treat their customers poorly. These FACTS are documented in this website.

2- There is a virtual ARMY of Pulte supporters: real estate sales agents, stock brokers, contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, Twitter, etc. who KNOW that Pulte is a dishonest, reckless, and arrogant company that builds shoddy houses and treats customers poorly, but who promote Pulte for their own personal gain. They are, IMHO, SCUM OF THE EARTH.

3- There are MANY who have bought Pulte houses who have discovered that Pulte is a dishonest, reckless, and arrogant company that builds shoddy houses and treats customers poorly, who don’t speak the truth PUBLICLY about Pulte Homes. They want to sell their problem house to someone else. Needless to say, this is dishonest too.

I’ve done what I can to warn people about dishonest, reckless and arrogant Pulte Homes, and their dishonest supporters. To those who are considering purchasing a Pulte house, I hope that you do your homework first, and dig deep. The information is there, despite the efforts of those, including Twitter and Pulte house owners, who try to suppress it.

To those seemingly few who are NOT dishonest, SPREAD THE WORD, so that others don’t make the same mistake that we did.

skeptics and critics

Here’s what I bring to the table to back up my statements:

• a degree in civil engineering (1968)
• in 1973 passed PE exam and met other requirements for PE license
• licensed PE in District of Columbia, Virginia, Maryland, South Carolina, Georgia, North Carolina, Delaware, West Virginia & Pennsylvania (now retired)
• 40+ years experience in construction and engineering

more qualified in construction than most housewives, real estate agents, stockbrokers, Pulte employees, contractors, suppliers, etc.
