No, I am not legally bound to mention his name, but I will PM the name to anyone who ask.
Last time I mentioned his name, I got into a spat, for not a better word, with people who know him.
WoW!
While I don't recall the builders' name, I seem to recall that one of the owners of the company posted in reply to your ranting about the lack of water vapor layer. I think you are taking the high road, and cannot say that I would do the same, given the circumstances. I'd plaster the builders' names everywhere and invite people to come look at the house they built without the basics. In addition, I'd find a lawyer who loves money and willing to do the leg work in exchange for a higher payout. I don't like lawyers, unless they are on my side, and even then it's questionable (other than in social settings ;-) -- I do know a few pretty cool lawyers), but I'd be suing the pants off the builders and I'd go after the County, for inaccurate inspections if the water vapor layer is on the checklist as approved.
I'll share this with you, the legal system is broken everywhere. I have a friend who was sued by his neighbor, who is trying to blame something on my friend, which is not my friends fault at all. I won't go into details, but the case has been dragging on for over a year, and they were supposed to go to court last week, but it was post-poned yet again, because the case in front of them was going to trial instead of pleading out, so they are shafted for another month with mounting legal fees. His latest bill for the month from his own attorneys was a surprising $16,000, mostly ludicrous charges, like rehearsing for trial and the partner's billing for oversight of the rehearsing for trial. (It's no wonder why lawyers are so disliked). The plaintiff's (new and hungry) attorney is working without charging the client unless they win. It is highly likely that my friend's builder's insurance company and my friend, will be out more money from legal fees than they would had they settled for the amount of damages being sought.
I believe I told you once before about the guy I talked to who had big vinyl stickers of a lemon, on the back half of both sides, and the back glass of his Jeep Cherokee. When I talked to him, he had just pulled up to park on the wide sidewalk in front of Walmart on a Saturday afternoon. I couldn't help but to ask about the lemons. I knew he wasn't selling lemonade. He told me that his car repeatedly "breaks down" on the right of way, in front of the dealer where he bought the car.
Good luck with your situation. It sounds like a nightmare, but hang in there. Keep us posted on the outcome of the lawsuit.
