212k spent to rebuild a home insured for 141,000. A dangerous building report was submitted to the City of Eugene Building Department (Report #10-01516) for the following defects/negligence: Areas of significant danger include but are not limited to: Missing Pier Pads in front and back of building have left the support posts in those areas bearing a load while they are not level. This has resulted in significant bulging of supporting posts, with the concave side deteriorating as chunks of the post sluff off. Framing: Underfloor Open correction memos on file with city of Eugene for underfloor framing. Support methods used were thick stacks of asphalt roofing shingles (2"x3" cut strips stacked 2-3" high) were used for leveling support. These stacks have now melted or shattered, leaving underfloor joists unsupported, and areas of melted tar visible on stemwalls. Underfloor joists are not connected to stemwalls, rim boards are no longer vertical and in some areas, are crushed. Joists and main crossbeam are twisting, creating waves in flooring as well as obvious signs of 'rolling' in the crawlspace. Joists sizes are smaller than plan specifications. Subflooring is rising off of mudsill visibly in areas, crawlspace can be seen between wall base and mudsill from garage. Walls Shearwall corners not built to city code or specification in some areas. Missing anchorbolts visible. All anchor bolts installed for construction of deck area are now pulled and are visibly pulling through the deck framing at angles other than optimal. Photo documentation reflecting wall sheathing below cabinet grade (weyerhauser has no control over products once they are distributed) Also, sheathing not per plans or code, with strength axis broken 8' above base of wall. On entire structure, above 8', sheathing is scabbed together from small pieces. Photo documentation (and apparent via visual examination) of inadequate wall blocking. Photo and now visible instances where construction grade lumber was not used. Header with dangerous knot dead center opely visible, with subsequent cracks and lifting of header ends. Documentation of insufficient Permanent wall bracing. Variance of wall widths from plan design. Apparent via Photos and visible inspection. Trusses: Roof on structure not inline (general design) with approved city plans. Roof Engineered for wall widths of 2x4 in areas, when walls built to 2x6 widths instead, no revisions of truss engineering took place. Chris Latini and Noah Lacey 'made them work' Primary bottom chord bracing is pulling out, with large gaps between top plate and rat run. Insufficient permanent gable end bracing. (visible) Engineered Roof trusses disassembled onsite and scabbed together, resulting in loads not bearing on designated points. (visible and photos, also sworn court testimony) Trusses pulling apart, structure completely cracked in half north to south, clear evidence in visual examination of truss plates r&r in many areas. Trusses cracked in many areas from end to end. Cracks are widening. Missing hangers onto Bull trusses. Moisture content of lumber used in areas of stick framing questionable. Visual inspection reflects large amounts of pitch pooling in attic areas. Multiple areas of drywall deterioration where attached to frame. Chris Latini broke all contracts with other contractors, as he misrepresented himself as my 'General Contractor'. Not only did he break the agreement with Me, he ordered work I did not approve, and in most cases, charged me double of other bids I had secured. The dangerous areas are: Electrical: 17 documented (via manufacture documentation as well as Oregon Residential Home Inspectors report) fire hazards installed in recessed lighting fixtures. Multiple areas where wires emerge from walls directly through wooden frame. No electrical box installed. Wire protrudes from wood, disallowing the installation of an electrical box. Wire for branch Circuits passes through bottom plate at juncture of floor joist. Wire passes through metal plate. In attic, wires pass through metal truss plates. Wires are taught, as trusses pull apart. Overhead service of newly constructed utility wires pass directly through center of Hawthorne tree. I signed a contract for a top of the line high efficency HVAC system. Latini broke this contract, substituting an electric air handler for 1000 less than the original contract. No heat pump, nothing, first month electrical bill was $589.00. This man is dangerous. Not just his work, but his attitude towards customers. I paid directly to him, or for materials he ordered, more than $70,000.00. When he was approached for warranty work, his response was 'If I do any warranty work my wife will divorce me.' Interesting and costly for any customers who put their trust or money in his direction. After 14 months of avoiding me, refusing to refund anything and ongoing threats, Mr. Latini's last communication to me was: From: Chris Date: September 28, 2010 12:18:33 PM PDT To: Angela Bayliss Subject: Re: Directive We have no business, it's no longer your home. The funds were not yours and your lawsuits are at an end. You are not in a position to ask for funds(as they are NOT yours and if I gave them to you I would be in direct violation of ors) or to ask for work to be performed at 255 Baxter( as it is not in your legal posession).

Your unwillingness to honor your own contracted warranty and services do not negate the business laws of Oregon.
