The footing that was shown could have been seen from any foundation vent with a flashlight. It simply wasn't there. There were piers on pads, so even a cursory look would have seen the light coming from the vents on the opposite wall past the piers.
The thing is, the engineer told the owner he CRAWLED under there. And then he had to balls to tell me he crawled under. I knew that was a bald face lie, told him so and told him to not ever get within striking distance of me. I don't take being lied to very well at all. In fact, one lie and you're out of my life forever.
This was the poorest performance of any licensed person I have ever dealt with. Then, to come back with an invoice on top of the lie was even more incredible. I know now why some people get so aggravated that they end up being charged with assault.
I could still throw that guy off the roof.
Such is the risk to the owner of an existing building" That is really a poor statement.
