What is the name of your state? CT
We had a 6ft privacy fence built in our backyard in mid-December. It is now mid-April and over 1/3 of the fence posts are loose (my 3yr old son can wiggle them) and several are leaning to one side.
I contacted the builder about the problem and was told he's not responsible for Acts of God and seasonal changes per the contract. He claims that high winds and all the rain we've had caused the problem with the posts and "another customer tried to pull the same thing" on him. He seems to be under the impression that "Acts of God" means rain and wind and "seasonal changes" refers to one season. I explained that I wasn't trying to pull anything and that the posts shouldn't be loose after the winter thaw and some rain. He told me he would send someone out to look at the fence and hung up on me.
It's now been two weeks and I haven't heard from him. What is the legal definition of Acts of God and Seasonal Changes and what should be my next step? Suing someone is the last thing I want to do, but I highly doubt he'll care about a complaint to the BBB.
Many Thanks in Advance!
