That’s the Pitts!
That’s what inspections are for dummie. It’s been 7 years and they’re complaining of mold and the wood splitting?! Wood will do that when not maintained...as in painted or sealed. Mold forms in hot humid weather and can be stopped with proper maintenance but I’m sure the upkeep wasn’t something you expected?! Brad is supposed to fly in with a team of contractors and maintain these sh**boxes?! The solar panels are a nice touch. ~sarc
No good deed goes unpunished.
Never, ever, ever help people. Not in any way that can be traced, at least.
In think I found the problem:
Make It Right chose TimberSIL because it advertised sustainable wood that was not treated with chemicals, but the lumber rotted in the Louisiana climate, according to the suit.
No good deed goes unpunished....
Lets do the math here - that divides out to around $245K per-house... that they sold for $130K
Anyone else see a problem here?
Then again - nothing like celebrities engaging in "feel-good" projects only to bolster their own ego....
Some manufactured housing is really nice these days, especially on the inside. They should have stuck with something like that and gone with an experienced manufacturer that already sold homes in the region.
Good intentions + leftwing stupidity = Crappy houses that are dangerous to live in.
Untreated wood is a poor choice in humid climates. Brick and concrete block are often a better choice.
“He said that we had to build houses that were safe, affordable,green, adaptive, durable, designed by award-winning architects, designed around residents’ needs.”
“Green”....there’s your problem right there.
The houses built by Habitat for Humanity are very efficiently designed and built using quality materials and they hold up as well as any other. Of course that wouldn’t have stroked the tender ego of SJW Pitts and some hipster designer who came up with these crackerboxes, or the crony pals who profiteered on the materials.
No good deed goes unpunished! Or something like that.
The proper response to a gift is Thank You.
More like “Make it Wrong”. How were these homes approved for building? Did someone pay off the building department?
A wood house in a swamp...what could go wrong? Another question: what type of wood did the old Louisiana builders use back around the 1910s?
Welfare and entitlement mentality, meet distant PR gesture with a brief wad of money to spend.
Hope Brad Pitt learned his lesson and will never do that again.
It might help if they painted the wood on the porch, but what do I know.
Sounds like poor maintenance, and poor material choice.
$130K ???????? From the videos, those atrocities are worse than double wide manufactured homes..................
