Homeowners continue to ask builder to buy back their homes
Homeowners living in the Fairhaven subvision in Schertz want their builder, Pulte, to buy back their houses. Members of the group Fairness for Fairhaven Now gathered at a Schertz post office Saturday morning and mailed out dozens of letters to elected officals.  "We mailed one off to President Barack Obama, the Mayor of Schertz, and Governor Rick Perry," said homeowner Ryan Travis.

"A person should not be able to walk up to a wall, push that wall and see it moving like that," explained inspector Mark Eberwine. "A person can't generate the same amount of force that a wind gust can."  A few streets away, Eberwine examined a wall separating from the ceiling that left a noticeable gap. "It's not normal," he said. "This is not normal at all. This is the inability of the foundation to resist deflection to the degree necessary to keep your house from coming apart."

Schertz homeowners want builder to buy back their homes
Homeowner Bruce Touve can move his brick wall with a touch of his hand. And it scares him. ...It is not a very safe situation in the neighborhood,” said Touve... So dozens of the Fairhaven homeowners are documenting their problems in buy-back letters they are writing to Pulte Homes. It’s everything else except for the possibility that they may have built us a shoddy house,” said Lawrence... Alpersin tells KENS-TV she checks the wall daily, after discovering cracks and separations among the bricks. Last week there were 28 cracks, she said. Monday she counted 31. The news has Alpersin worried. She remembers Pulte’s retainer wall collapse in San Antonio’s Rivermist subdivision in 2010. Related article:Pulte-Centex A No Show At Meeting
