A most deserving young man and his family, a very appropriate choice.

It is an interesting local story Jay......there was more in the Columbus Dispath about it yesterday....I need to add that link.
Yes MO in MI. One entry and a comment and you will be in your rightful position... no 2 comments since I will get 20 points if you blog...
Watching the show right now - seems like an incredible and deserving family! I'm really curious, though, who in the world was the builder that built that house only 8 years old? What shoddy and unethical craftsmenship. Seems like there should be some sort of investigation or consequences - especially things like building on an old and crumbling foundation, a new home, the steps inside falling apart? Did they use rotton wood???
Jaelynne: Not a good builder! I am not going to name the builder here I will look to see if you are a member who wasn't signed in and I will tell you via email. OR email me and I will tell you who the builder of the original house is..
They do build shoddy BUT I think there was some poetic license also to make the family seem more deserving because the house was eight years old and in poor shape. I did not get to watch the whole show so I don't know whether it was disclosed that when the family bought this house it was a repo. It may have been abused.
They did tell the part about another foundation being found under it...
Katy: You are right it was not a repo it was a short sale! I looked it up in November and remembered "CONTINGENT ON BANK APPROVAL" .... It was a sale from the first owners to the present owners.
In my mind many short sales are also often abused. The one I wrote an offer on in December 2006 sure was.
Do you think it was something about this particular house being built that made it shoddy?
