We're Back!

After months of downtime during a legal dispute over the content of this site, we decided that we would go with our consciences and put things back up and deal with whatever retribution comes our way.

The short description is this: our former foundation contractor, Willson/Bailey Construction, alleges that this site contains defamatory statements about them. In order to be defamatory, a statement has to be untrue. As far as I know, there are some things we've written about here that we've turned out to be wrong about (more on this in a second), but nothing we wrote about Scott Bailey or Willson/Bailey was untrue.

As of right now, we're having a lawyer review the posts that mention Willson/Bailey or Scott Bailey, because we made some statements based on information that Scott gave us and we need to evaluate those statements and if necessary add in some clarification with the benefit of hindsight. As we approve the posts, we'll put them up, plus the posts we've been adding offline during the downtime. It promises to be a really fascinating read.

But there's even more good news! Yesterday morning at 8AM, our new foundation contractor, Counterforce of Oakland, showed up and began work on the drainage system and sump. They expect to be ready for the first inspection by Monday. When I get home and can get to the offline posts, I'll put up some photos.

Until then, thank you to all our loyal readers who have kept in touch via e-mail and phone calls. We really appreciate the support. You can contact us at casadecrepit@blue-room.com.
