Default Re: Orlando Sentinel Article re: TV's Siding Problems

Having survived the Tornado of Feb 2, 2007, and having witnessed the total destruction of so many homes, you realize that it doesn't matter how correctly the vinyl siding was installed, there's nothing that could withstand that kind of hit from nature.

It's very easy to become so focused (and preoccupied) with this vinyl siding issue which is really insignificant in the overall scheme of things, that you lose sight of why you moved to TV in the first place. I'm not dismissing it, but short of a class action suit, you have to let it go. For new buyers, TV's Warranty dept is very responsive to fixing things, and very quickly. If you can point out the problems during the first year, they'll fix them. But you're not going to hold up the closing contingent on an independent inspection.
