Speaker 1 (00:40):
Yea. Yeah. So they decided they're going to purchase this
home in Oregon that's going to be their retirement home.
But they're not retiring obviously anytime soon. Again, Yeah, none
of it makes a lot of sense, but it is
what it is, long term plan. Okay, yep, okay, Well,

So he flew by himself?

Speaker 1 (01:41):

Speaker 3 (01:42):
I could tell she's a ball of nerves for her
forty eight year old husband flying by himself.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
He doesn't do things on his own, No, he doesn't.
So this is a big deal. Is the tript organ
Sure it?

Speaker 2 (01:51):
Sure is.

Speaker 4 (01:52):
I'm really excited to hear how the day goes. For
multiple reasons. First, you know that just that real id like,
how's that gonna all play out? Because he doesn't have one.
He has a passport, so we'll see how that plays.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
He's definitely in the can't wait to tell you I
told you so about a bunch of different things. Excuse me,
I can't to the boo to the boo like because
she already said I can't wait to see how things
play out.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
Well I can't.

Speaker 3 (02:16):
I can't wait to drop a couple. I told you.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
Well, we'll just see how it does. But I'm excited
for his big day today.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
And his big day to the airport.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
Yeah, you think it could be. So we'll see what happens.
But uh yeah, boo off to Oregon on his own.
Do you do you have a little fomo going on?

Speaker 4 (02:35):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (02:35):
Big time. Oh yeah, I really wish I was going
with him.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
You're the project leader, Yes I am.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
I am the.

Speaker 4 (02:40):
Project he's the worker be on, the project manager of
the of the team. So I was putting together lists. Oh,
it's a it's a two page list of things.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
What did not come in? Is it like a remile
did not come in movie?

Speaker 1 (02:54):
It's beautiful, it's beautiful, but we're going to put the
sky touches on it.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
We're a little little picky.

Speaker 4 (02:59):
He wants morelation got to replace the bathroom fans, put
some grip tape on some steps.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
There's just just a lot of little things. We don't
need anybody slipping.

Speaker 4 (03:08):
I don't need a law super brow for you know,
I don't need a force staying there slipping and then
suing me.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
Wouldn't that be in the contract that they can't suit?

Speaker 1 (03:16):
Well, I mean I don't know anyway, So Yes on
his way to work and they're not there. Obviously they're
not there most of the time, but you still were
having some work done on the house.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
Well not us. So I don't know why.

Speaker 4 (03:30):
I don't know if this is everybody or if this
is just me, But anytime pretty much we have bought
or sold a house, something breaks, like right before you
close escrow, Like it's just always been our luck.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
I don't know why. And so that happened again with the.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
Org you closed escrow. Well that's a good thing.

Speaker 4 (03:49):
So and and honestly, the people who sold us the
house could have easily just pretended like they had no
idea because it was a month before we were going
to close us grow and they got their water bill
and they noticed that their water bill had jumped quite
a bit, and so they're thinking, oh, gosh, you know,
there there could be a little leak somewhere, and that's

(04:11):
when they find a leak in the main line that
goes from the main meter at the street to the
entrance of the house, the water main water line into.

Speaker 3 (04:21):
The house, I was like someone bought a lemon.

Speaker 4 (04:24):
They found a leak, and and like I said, honestly,
they could have not said anything.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
We would have had no idea.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
These people must be angels because I don't know that.
I'm saying, also, Eddie, what else is wrong? And get
these idiots in here, because the roof, the plumbing, the.

Speaker 3 (04:49):
Electrical.

Speaker 4 (04:50):
Honestly, it's the opposite the fact that they were so
forthcoming with this.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
I was like, wow, they're they're like good people. That's
crazy because I know there's no way thor but I
said nothing.

Speaker 4 (05:04):
So what these people do is they alert us and
then they have the problem fixed like emergency status before
we close escrow.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
And they had to do a whole new line.

Speaker 3 (05:18):
They got to get theseus in.

Speaker 4 (05:19):
They had to do a whole new line from the
main going into the house. So the front yard has
to get trenched up, which I'm not very excited about.
But I'm like, I'd rather lose a shrubber two than
have a cracked mane going into the house. So they
send us pictures about it all being finished and whatever,

(05:41):
and I'm like, okay, great, looks wonderful. But then we
went and we visited the house right after we closed escrow.
We flew up there and that's when my hobby is
poking around and in the front yard there's a deck,
so it's like a yard space and then a deck
right up against the front door, and he looks under

(06:01):
the deck and that's where he sees the water line,
which is pex, which is like a rubber tubing, a
plastic tubing, so it's not like a like a metal
pipe or anything. It's a plastic tubing, which is like
kind of the newer generation of plumbing.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
And it's going.

Speaker 4 (06:18):
Into the house under the deck. But it's not buried, right,
And my husband goes, well, I don't know, you know,
we've never lived anywhere where the temperatures drop this low.
Plus the sun can hit it through the deck. So
my husband's like, we may have concerns about this freezing
and busting, and also have concerns about mold growing inside

(06:40):
of there because the sun hitting it.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
Through the deck.

Speaker 4 (06:43):
My husband's like, I think it's supposed to be buried
or at the very least wrapped in insulation. And I'm like, Okay,
how do we proceed from here cause we didn't get
the work done, our name's not on the receipt, and
we don't even know if it was done incorrectly or not.

(07:03):
This totally could be fine, Like this could just be
how it's done.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
We don't know. So I'm like, I get this feeling.

Speaker 4 (07:11):
Sometimes I can be a little bit pessimistic and not
have you know, the amount of trust in people I should,
you don't. So I felt if I call this company
and ask them, hey, were you guys supposed to bury
this or insulate it, They're gonna tell me, oh, yeah,
that it was done totally fine. We did a great

(07:31):
work out there. You're fine, ma'am. You know we're You're fine,
Miss California lady.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
Why would they say, now you know what we did
it wrong? Like, why would they say that?

Speaker 2 (07:39):
Well, I'm thinking if you're like.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
Another company going hey, can you just double check it,
then I would go back to the original place and say, hey, this.

Speaker 3 (07:48):
Is that's what I did. Recently, I had a guy
do some work electrical work, and I was like, something
doesn't seem right. An electrician look at he goes, yeah,
this isn't right. And then I went back to the guy,
you need to redo this.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
That makes sense.

Speaker 4 (07:58):
Yeah, well, since we're not up there, we can't really
have somebody meet up.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
Okay, property management starts in July.

Speaker 4 (08:09):
In July, so I all of a sudden get this
thought that makes me feel a little devious that I'm
gonna kind of do your plan, but flip it. I'm
gonna call it. I'm gonna call the company that did
the work and say, hey, I've just moved into this scenario.

(08:34):
I have no idea if this was done right or wrong.
I hear you guys are the best guys in town.
So I'm wondering your opinion should this line have been
buried or insulated? And get them to tell me. Thinking
another company was the one who actually did the work right,

(08:56):
because I felt like they're not going to admit it.
So I felt like, I if they do, under my
my ruse, I would have a gotcha moment.

Speaker 1 (09:06):
Right Hold on a minute, Yeah, Well, okay, first of all,
this isn't the Turk files. You take it easy. Number two.
Won't they know that that's the work the property.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
That they are not giving an address.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
You're just going to tell them the scenario and let's
they give you the answer.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
That's what I know. That's what I did.

Speaker 5 (09:25):
I basically say, we have to come look at it.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
I would be like, I don't know, maybe well.

Speaker 4 (09:29):
I basically asked, if you have exterior PEX piping in
this part of town, does it need to be buried
or insulated or is it okay for it to be
just above ground exposed?

Speaker 1 (09:43):
Why can't you do anything just normal? This is so abnormal.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
I felt like this is the best way.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
You're wrong to get the information.

Speaker 4 (09:53):
But then to also kind of catch them and make
them on the hook so they have to fix it.

Speaker 1 (09:59):
So they I don't know what the end of the
result is, but let's just say they go, yeah, that's
done incorrectly. At that moment, do you go, gotcha? You
did it? Like what are you gonna do? That's so weird?

Speaker 3 (10:11):
Weird?

Speaker 2 (10:14):
That is when well, so this just played it.

Speaker 1 (10:17):
You did it, This just played. You need to run
everything you do by us because you are so weird,
so weird.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
So I talked to the man.

Speaker 4 (10:27):
They're like, head, you know, I don't know installer guy,
and I'm.

Speaker 3 (10:32):
Sure that I'm sure he took well to this.

Speaker 4 (10:35):
And I told him the situation, and then that's when
he said, oh, yeah, that's not right. He goes some
of these companies around town, they'll just rush to get
through with things, and they probably thought because it was
underneath the deck, nobody would ever check under there, and
they probably saw the moving trucks pulling up and just
decided half day work instead of a full day work
and got out of there. He said, yeah, he said, honestly,

(10:58):
we don't freeze very much around here, but that should
be either buried or insulated.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
So you got him.

Speaker 4 (11:05):
And that's when I said, I'm so glad you've said that,
because it actually turns out that I was just sent
the receipt for the work and your company was the
one who did the work.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
Dude, that's so.

Speaker 3 (11:21):
That's rough.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
You don't think he's gonna immediately be like irritated on
the defense. It is stupid, like why are you doing this?

Speaker 3 (11:29):
Honestly, And I mean it's a small town, yea, so
people are gonna talk. Then you get blackballed by other people. No,
I didn't you think about that small town? You don't
want to ruffle too, like I just went through this
with owning a plane. It's a small industry, so it's
really hard. You want to stay in your lane, but
you also want to say.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
You know, like what a wild way to handle this.

Speaker 3 (11:48):
Yeah, So in my mind, I'm shocked this guy did this.
Is absolutely shocked. It's something I would do.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
Well.

Speaker 4 (11:54):
I'm very I feel an Oregon, I'm very anonymous, you
know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
Like more.

Speaker 4 (12:01):
So, in my mind, this is exactly how it's going
to play out. And in this moment when he admits
it's them and it wasn't done properly, I'm I'm expecting
just to glow inside like like Queen of the world,
like I like look at me, like Perry Mason, like
what like what am I doing? Like you know Matlock,

(12:23):
you know the female version. So so I'm expecting that.
But as soon as I say it, I got a
nicky feeling inside, even though I basically had won.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
I got the information I need. They're on the hook
to do the repair.

Speaker 5 (12:41):
Was his reaction.

Speaker 1 (12:43):
I don't care how you feel.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
Sorry, I thought I already told you guys that.

Speaker 4 (12:46):
Yeah, he basically said, oh my gosh, I'm so sorry
to hear that. That's not the way it should be done.
I will leave your name and number for our manager
and he is going to get in contact with you
to get somebody out there and to make it right.

Speaker 3 (13:00):
Okay, oh he handled it better than but but you
know what, I'm sure, yeah, I'm sure. He hung up
and said, Hey, here's the address of this house. Let's
screw them for the rest of their lives.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
But then, but then, like I said, and now now
I feel poopy. I thought I would.

Speaker 3 (13:15):
It was just gonna be hard to get anybody work
in your house.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
I mean, they're the ones who did it. You admitted
it was done weird.

Speaker 4 (13:23):
I just really thought that was like gonna be an
amazing way to handle it. And I was going to
like win the world and be like, oh, I'm the
smartest woman ever.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
But now I just feel crappy.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
You're you're like the guy that shows up in that
TV show Cheaters. Yeah, and you're like, hey, what are
you doing? You're that guy?

Speaker 2 (13:40):
Because I said the whole thing up, I said the
whole thing.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
I mean, it's not cool. What they did was not great,
but what you're doing is awful.

Speaker 3 (13:47):
Scott, Yeah, yes, Sky called. Somebody asked, said they had
a bouquet of flowers and who should she send them to?
And then they said somebody else, And Skuy said, I
got you.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
What a ridiculous what a ridiculous thing to do.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
Okay, so I shouldn't do that again.

Speaker 5 (14:00):
Guy, you to keep it.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
Cool when you run everything by us in your life.

Speaker 3 (14:06):
Because you are it's a small small town. Good luck
getting any contractors of anything between now and forever.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
Wow, forever.
