Hi Linden, I cant see any items listed above but I do appreciate the review and look forward to working with you again in the future. -Dennis

Correcting another contractors mistake is always a difficult situation. While the job scope seemed simple and straightforward, it was most definitely not easy. Buried in the ground from a former homeowner, we assume, was old fence debris, including the concrete from the posts. To add to that, there were river rocks buried in the ground next to the French Drain, And in the conduit trench, causing soil to collapse which resulted in the leaning shed mentioned in the review. My guess is that the former installation crew knew of these obstacles, Misplaced it, and never returned to correct it. It seemed to me that the soil conditions would have been communicated to the homeowners at some point. The crew worked tirelessly, myself included, in the extreme heat to excavate and get the shed moved, all while being micromanaged the entire time, and the homeowners being very disrespectful to my crew. Moving a shed Like this is not an “out of the box” job scope for any contractor, except the manufacturer, of course. we picked up the job because we are waiting on permits on several large remodels. There is no best practice and we proceeded as best we could amidst very poor soil conditions. The issues we had were compounded by the homeowners, both husband and wife, shouting and cursing at myself and the crew with each and every set back due to the conditions. It was pretty unbearable. I am a foundation specialist, and had I known about the condition of the soil (it was not obvious upon inspection) , I would never have proceeded with this methodology, in light of the soil being the unknown variable and a huge complication. I would have recommended we use push piers To Stabilize on the bedrock, and keep the shed stable, literally forever. By the time I realized the mess we were in, I was just resolute to get the job done, and get my crew out of this hostile, confrontational situation. For example, One morning, my crew arrived before I did, and the homeowner asked “where is your babysitter?” I have never seen this level of blatant disrespect. In the midst of all the hostility toward Minorities and protests in the news, I found it a very poor decision in behavior and a lack of restraint. Long story short, we moved the shed, it’s perfectly placed, level, no damage. The electrical is done, awaiting inspection. The job site was clean, no debris. In all my years in construction, I have never had an accident or injury to anyone on my crew. To wrap it up, the poor review on moving a shed, a very rare request, is unfortunate, but I will use the experience in the future should I come across a similar situation. And while I am disappointed in the homeowners perspective and demeanor towards my team, this is no reflection on my professionalism and competence in building, structural repair, and project management. Thank you for reading my response. Best, Dennis Gohnert
