Those of you who follow this blog will recall that Jeff Zalinski, who does business as Bremco of Northern California, made a real hash out of the building of my new office.

Of course, this is incredible, since the building was pre-manufactured by Butler Manufacturing.. They drill every hole, and supply a pre-engineered and precut fully engineered and ready to assemble building.  Even very little electricity is required.

Now that we are in litigation,  Zalinski is required, under oath, to respond to “discovery” requests. One request was for him to admit that the roof Leaks.

His response?  The word “roof” is vague and ambiguous.  Since he can’t figure out what “roof” means, he denies that the roof leaks.  Further, after at least six unsuccessful attempt to stop the leaks, he says that he needs an expert to determine whether or not it leaks.

This is the same guy who ducked service for months, even telling the gatekeeper at his gated community not to let the process server in.  (The law requires it, of course).

Actually, more than anything, this experience reminds me of the kinds of stalling and nonsense that my clients have to deal with in order to get paid.  On the one hand, we have the best system in the world for giving people a chance at justice.  On the other hand, the nonsense that takes place is pretty disgusting.

Or maybe Zalihski is telling the truth, and he doesn’t know what the word “roof” means.  That would explain a lot.
