Hello, You are confusing us with the Grading engineer and Soils engineer. As explained to you from start, it is the responsibility of your Grading engineer with your approval to locate the house on your sloped lot. You understood and even confirmed it in your email to your Grading engineer. See your email below: Apr 23 Hi ?.., I wanted to clarify that the final decision on the location of the home on the parcel will be made by me, as the property owner.

Hi Mike, Lets tell the whole story. I never realized your job was harder and I did not back out because we could not do it. It was you did not agree with basic principal of engineering. You wanted to add 3rd floor on your existing 2nd floor without modifying your walls below. For the initial payment we created all of your existing plans, demolition plan, new floor plan, new roof plan and exterior elevations including your changes. When we were ready to do engineering, you said, you do not want to modify or touch your walls below and foundation because you cannot afford it. I explained many times that by adding a 3rd floor we must upgrade the walls below not just vertical load but also seismic load. And you kept refusing to do anything because your stucco is too expensive and you could not afford touching it. I even mentioned to you, no engineer can help you with this. Then you said, you will sue city of San Diego and sue Building department for why they did not tell you this. At the end we both agreed to stop the project. I provided all the files we created for you in PDF & CAD format. Legally, I did not have to pay you anything, but without you asking me, I offered a refund by calculating our times and refunded the remaining balance. I cut you a check for $220. You started emailing me that you wanted more. Finally, I offered you additional $200 out of my pocket just to close the drama. Then you showed satisfaction and happiness by emails (see below). Hey Hamid, I thought your offer of an extra $200 over the $220 I sent back was very big of you,not all I wanted but it was the thoughtful gesture to ease any bad feelings and let us both get back to more important things that I did like. I agreed and thought you had too... And your final email: Hey Hamid, Got your check;thanks for helping put a final end to this so we can get on with more pleasant things. Thanks Mike
