I am a small contractor who is working on the home of an architect who was asked prior to the signature of the contract if the structure was in tact, if the electrical was in tact, and if the plumbing was in tact; and to these questions answered yes. After starting the work it was discovered that one side of the house was falling because the first floor load bearing wall was removed to provide for a larger living room and the sill plates for each floor was cut and left unmended to accommodate a new stack pipe, and the electrical lines were gathered together and taped with no use of junction boxes or wire nuts. This additional work was not specified in the contract but review with the home owner who condoned the work be done and even help in the process. The home owner now reveals that that work was part of the work necessary to complete the scope of work in the contract and has no intention of paying for the work
