Two Months waiting for proper accounting from Anthony Odai
Since Anthony Odai put in for things he didn’t pay for including the $5088 Building Permit from the City and $580 for a non-existant dumpster, we have asked for copies of receipts and cancelled checks. It’s been over two months since he submitted his last draw.
He hasn’t been paid because he hasn’t submitted the correct doumentation.
Well, no shit, do your job.
Anthony Odai – Builder. HA
Sierra Pacific Windows – Saga Continues
As it so happens when Sierra Pacific Rep John Tilly from Denver came down to look at the windows/doors, the local guy JJ Ruiz, came by the house too. I’ve got the video of their visit.
So, let’s back up, starting with 1) JJ’s good pals with the screw-up builder Anthony Odai, 2) #1 creates a trust issue. 3) Then I find out I’m being charged more than the windows actually cost (integrity issue on both the window provider Sierra Pacific but my builder is cost plus – so he’s potentially skimming or getting a kick-back.)
April:
Windows ordered from Sierra Pacific for 26K for the entire house, windows are delivered faster than scheduled – most excellent – thanks @SierraPacWindow
Windows are installed before the house is ‘dry’ and upwards of 10,000 gallons of water-soaked 8 windows and doors – inspector John Tilly comes down from Denver 7 of which were deemed ‘unwarrantable’ – yeah @SierraPacWindow
April-June: Santa Fe foothills receives between 200-400% above normal rain fall – no kidding.
June 24th After some work Sierra Pacific sends John Tilly down from Denver. JJ Ruiz joins him during the inspection
Builder is having to replace the windows. And his same shitty team will install the new ones, maybe this time they will do a better job.
Brace yourself – it’s going to be a bumpy ride
Building a house is like severe air turbulence – you don’t know how bad it’s going to get or if you will survive the flight. Now as most of us know, the bumps will subside, the plane will land and you will be on to your next adventure. With building a house you are stuck inside the plane forever.
Here is a nifty video of it raining inside a house that was “water tight”. https://www.dropbox.com/s/qz2ks0uh3dejpff/IMG_1636.m4v?dl=0

My builder gave me this schedule and then denied ever giving it to me.
As of today 100% over schedule and no end in site, no work on the house for weeks. Bankers, lawyers, nasty social media, mistakes, more mistakes, and rain in the house.
I’d avoid Anthony Odai construction like the plague. He and his wife Wendi are only slightly less idiots than I – for hiring Them.
My builder is a complete fuck up.
Anthony Odai, unprofessional. Details?
How about thousands of gallons of water pouring in the house after the windows have been installed? Speaking of water – he blew off the water company for over two months. They are not happy with him… And, oh yeah, on Tuesday 6-30-15, the house was to have been finished. Unfortunately we are less than 50% done. Yes, folks 100% behind schedule.
Yep, a complete fuck up.
Building a house is not for the faint of heart
My cousin suggested I start a diary of my house building experience. I can tell you that hiring the right contractor is a good place to start. Unfortunately, I didn’t hire the right contractor or the right Architect. So, believe them when they tell you – it will take twice as long and cost a whole lot more than you planned for.
