He was just stating his personal preference... not sure why you're so insulted lol.

What? Did you quote wrong post? Your response doesn't even align with what you quoted. It would be silly to hate condos because some random guy's sink fell out. And I'd hardly be insulted if some did say that.

Some music while you wait for your sink to get fixed

Guys, I'd suggest tuning into CTV for the 6 o'clock and 11 o'clock news!

Make sure you record it so you can put it up on Youtube.

I'm going to make sure that this gets directly to every prospective customer they have.

I wonder if they're feeling pressure from other builders to take this on the chin so that they can all keep this one year warranty thing rock solid.

They need to realize that it's 2016 and they can't hide behind company policy anymore. Anyone with an internet connection can make enough noise to bring attention to any issue.

Business in 2016 101.

Realistically having this issue show up on a Google search probably won't have the impact you're thinking it will have. Every single company out there has bad reviews online and minor issues haven't sunk them.

Out of curiosity, was the lack of strapping identified on the home inspection that you had done prior to possession?

Only if you build through garbage home builders building thousands of homes a year.

If you want a good quality home, it's not that hard to get one but you've got to pay for it.

Going with Shane Homes or other big similar companies isn't going to give you the best quality because they have 100's of trades working for them and can't keep track of quality.

If you want a good quality home seek a smaller company that builds less homes and gets to pick their trades even if it means paying a bit extra.

I've worked for several different companies and without a doubt the smaller companies build better quality homes. Of course there are also small companies who are also bad but it's not hard figuring out reputations with a little home work.

Thats why there's phase 2 of this plan of mine. This was just step one.

Ooo, phase 2!

I don't know about that. I had an issue with car dealership a couple years ago and posted about it online. Within ten minutes of it being posted I was called by the dealership telling me everything would be taken care of, my money for the diagnostic would be refunded, they would have a loaner car waiting for me while the issue was fixed...... If I promised to take my comments down.

After some back and forth, you eventually responded with:

I left this out because it's a drive-by comment. But okay.

I'm referring to the fact that he only stated that the whole sink thing and subsequent dealings with the condo board reinforces his preference of non-condo living. Large lot may also contribute that, but again that is a preference. Not sure where the idea of it being an objective statement came from. Either way my original statement stands. No need to be insulted.

That's right. Different priorities for everyone. So why are you so up in arms about his comment? See above.

So what if we're "spoiled"? We are where we are. We have options. We may exercise our options as we see fit. Again, see above.

My first comment was more succinct nd I figured it would get my point across. Oh well.

[Cecil Terwilliger]

I see you're taking this quite a bit more seriously than I did when I responded. I think you're reading into my responses way too much. This is much less of a contentious issue than you're making it out to be. I don't think whoever you're referring to was insulted and I know for sure I wasn't insulted that he didn't want to live in a condo.

Anyway, back to polak. Good luck man.

PVR set.

I'm fully prepared for looking like a total idiot so it can only go up from here.
