| Should I get my own lawyer for a class action settlement? |
| The manufacturer of the windows installed in my home was involved in a class action law suit and a judgement returned. Only the windows were part of the suit, but my doors are from the same manufacturer with the same problems as the windows. I still haven't committed to the class action agreement and want to know if I should hire a lawyer to deal with both the window and door problems. |
| Cracks on the basement concrete wall |
| We have new constructed house that will be closed in one week. The house is two story and have a walkout basement. The basement concrete wall (one wall with backfilled soil) has 8-9 big cracks, most of them are diagonal and through the whole wall from top to bottom. Both corners of the same wall (joint lines with the other two walls) have vertical cracks through the wall height as well. Some cracks are connected with each other, showing "V" shape. The builder has used epoxy to fill in the cracks. But with so many cracks on one wall, we are concerned so much on the leaking problem or even strength problem in the future. With so many cracks on the basement wall, the house is definitely devalued. We would like to find out if it is possible to have builder give us some reimbursement or extend warranty on the basement wall. Thank you for your time and assistance. |

| I didn't serve my Notice of Furnishing on time |
| I am working on a construction project for a city here in northern Ohio. I usually work as a subcontractor, but this time I am a sub-subcontractor. I usually don't bother with a NOF because I know that I don't have to serve one as a first tier sub on a public proejct. Now I understand that for lien and bond rights as a sub to a sub, I do have to serve an NOF, but I missed my 21-day window. I have already been working on the project for 3 months. Is it too late? Am I better off hoping that they just won't notice? Please help, I am getting concerned that I am not going to get paid at all and I have another 3 months worth of work. |
