Winter hits hard at Jon Sigafoos' home, harder, he says, than it ought.
His family of four moved into the Quadrant Corp.-built home four years ago, taking up residence in a newly constructed neighborhood at Bonney Lake.
It didn't take long, Jon Sigafoos said, to realize the house wasn't all it had been promised to be.
Sold on its square footage -- Quadrant advertisements run during the housing boom presented a family lost in its living room -- the house lacked a heater powerful enough to warm all that space, Sigafoos said. Sections of the home had been left without insulation by crews working for the Weyerhaeuser Co.-owned developer, he claimed, and wet materials used during the house's rushed construction provided a foothold for mold.
Those flaws, unexpected in the new home, have left Sigafoos, his wife and two children sick even during the warm, drier months, he said. In winter, problems with the home have forced them to abandon much of the house due to the cold and spend their time together sealed in the master bedroom.
