It was on or about May 2,...

2015, P[redacted] came into my mobile home sales office, located at 810 Wagon Wheel Rd. Oxnard Ca. 93036, and proceeded to tell me of the FIXER UPPER she had just purchased at Ojai Valley Estates, she came with a list of items that she wanted us to take care of for her. I drove to Ojai and inspected the unit she purchased, and also had a licensed contractor goto Ojai to inspect and evaluate the scope of work and determine costs. Ms. K[redacted] did have other contractors submitting bids. I wrote the contract up myself, acting as her agent as she was adamant that she would direct the work and oversee the whole project. My fee to be her agent was only $2000. But, as we proceeded with the remodel of her home, daily Ms. K[redacted] was making changes to the contract, and completely omitting some items. Ms. K[redacted] is totally in a fog and has no comprehension as to the workings of construction and working on mobile homes. If she did, she wouldn't be coming in with revisions and changes to things that needed to be done, or had already been done. We did our utmost to advise her, but her mind set was she was determined to control everything that went on. This can be done, but only on a hourly rate, and not when a job is bid flat rate. But when the costs of bids are held low, and the type of work requested is predetermined, and if Ms. K[redacted] wants addons or omissions, they need to be charged for, and signatures affixed in proper places, so that both sides have the same guidelines. For some unknown reason she could not understand why it would cost more. And each time she made changes, it either stopped work or brought it to a snails pace. I had asked her numerous times to come by the office so we could talk it over, and see what could be done with the daily changes. She REFUSED, and wanted to handle everything at the job site. It would only take her a few minutes before she was screaming and yelling at us, calling us a bunch of crooks, using the mouth of a drunken sailor, using every foul word in the book, yes, especially the “F” word. And she could go off on you in the drop of a hat. She has now stopped work completely a total of three (3) times. This last one, evidently a permanent stoppage. I will reiterate, this lady has NO clue, is totally unaware, of any workings of the construction industry. Shend way should have tried to act as OwnerBuilder. It no way fits her personality, or lack of, her experience, or largely her emotional status. We are still willing and ready to finish the work for Ms. K[redacted]. I have been licensed and in the mobile home industry for 35 years. I feel I DO know the workings of the industry, and am ready to complete what I started.

Review: am in a complete nightmare. There is not enough space to write this all and as I do I am sitting in a hotel with my 23 year old and dog for almost 2 months now running out of money, time and my SANITY.I have been taken for a hell ride with crooked contractors from Oxnard and salesman Don Foster.Mason Mobile Homes and F. Martin Construction were the contractors that did this to me. I have been lied to at every corner. They "sold" me on hiring them to take my fixer upper mobile home that I had just bought in the magical valley of Ojai, CA and turning it into my "double wide palace"All of the work has to be done all over as the it did not pass any inspection and none of it was to code. They used the crappiest materials and it all has to be redone. They gauged me with their prices. They forced me to give them 15K more when they still had not gotten the proper permits. They never gave me copies of contracts, I was promised 6 men 6 days a week to get this job done in 3 weeks- yet many days there was NOONE there for days at time. they never got the permits that were needed for mobile home construction until 5 weeks later with a gutted house. They took me for 25K.You cannot imagine how much these contractors ( there were 2 ) each pretending that the other one was the "actual contractor" and a sales guy. So for 2 months these guys have literally tortured me.I am in the midst right now of going after them with their bond companies and the CSLB. And legal action and filing a criminal complaint with the D.A. BUT none of that gets me into my house!They have my money and I have gutted house! And no one wants to even take it over.I am financically ruined. Scared. Not eating or sleeping or working. I am running out of space on my credit cards to keep living in this motel.BEWARE!Desired Settlement: ALL of my money back.All of the money needed to fix my house from the damage they have done.All of the money for my hotel and meal expenses for myself, my special needs 23 year old son and my dog for as long as it takes to get me into my house.Money for the pain and suffering that these men have put me through,For them NEVER to do this to someone else.
