Five Skies Issues
>>> Primary people involved in the various situations
>>>  While a DIY test for iron content is available from Home Depot & other sources, I took water samples
         3x to a 3rd party (Bryan's Water Quality Store)  for independent evaluation.  
>>>   Photos & videos of water drawn from various taps May-October 2016. Be sure to view the 10/29
         water in the 1/2 bath. 
         Both reflect the unchanged pathetic same situation in place since 4/27. 
Sewage on My Lawn - 18 days  (8/22-9/8)   Repaired to code 10/7 - 47 days
>>>   Cash job plumber left the old coffee can as the "cap" on 9/8.
          Total of 47 days from broken pipe to proper capping on 10/7 per UDC after my 10/4 complaint to WI
         Dept of Health, Wood County.  
>>>    Windows - don't open or close; LL notified that indoor temp was 90°   16 days later they arrived to
          drill one  window open, then window could not be closed). (No AC in unit).  9 pages of photos
          describe conditions of windows.
>>>     Door operation continued to deteriorate May thru Oct 2016; slam shoulder into door to open from
           interior; key doesn't work in lock. Gap between door & floor after bottom panel fell off 5/8 lets in
           rain water, bugs, other vermin.
>>>    Neither original nor replaced back stairs were to code. Front stairs also not to code; remained
           uncorrected.
>>>    Replaced original metal back stairs with wood stairs 9/11 that were not to code & without permit;\
           resulted in my injuries on 9/16.
           I consulted Building Inspector 9/24; stairs repaired 9/26; Vacate or Pay Notice 9/28
>>>    Rust filled condition of both toilet bowls were discovered when I moved in 4/27.
>>>    Nick had claimed on 3/27 that the pipes were being replaced to improve water pressure & the job
          would be completed by mid-May.  I was still trying to get the job done 6/17.  Informed 7/01, plumber
          would not return to finish the job.
>>>    Outdoor water connection done on 9/8; never informed whether laundry was connected  although
           that was one of my few requirements as indicated on initial email of 3/24. Minimal to no
           improvement in pressure; easy to maintain "pressure" was just another of Flying Squirrel Nick's lies.
     
          No doubt that he was hoping to improve iron situation with new pipes in unit.  See his 7/01 email
          (excerpt) re replacing the underground pipes & terminating my one year lease 63 days after I
          moved in & 7/03 email declaring other repairs "moot" (excerpt) if the water "can't be corrected."

>>>    No permit to replace pipes was obtained from Saratoga Building Inspector (confirmed by her email).

>>>    Plumber told me it was "hard to turn down a cash job," & had to fit the cash job in between his
          regular jobs.  He was in jail for felony stalking 4 days before he stopped returning my texts.
>>>    Landlord fraudulently rented this unit.  He wrote 7/01 that he would terminate my lease after 63
           days rather than repair the water pipes.  He did not make any further effort to determine the cause
           of the problem as he had already determined the cause:  the underground pipes were the problem.  

          With no repairs done on water, windows, stairs, he expected rent payment in full despite §704.07(4).
          His obvious lack of action to make any of the repairs he promised would be done "soon" several
          times along with the support of attorney to disregard  Wisconsin Statutes, Codes, & Regulations
          led me to think they would claim I had trashed the unit.  About a week or so after I moved out, I 
          returned to clean the unit as shown in the photos leaving it cleaner than it was when I moved in -

          see my email of 5/10.
>>>   The definition of "park" is stretched for this land tract.  The appearance reflects the landlord's lack of
          concern or interest in maintaining the entire property in anything resembling a reasonable manner.
>>>    New to Wisconsin, I contacted everyone I could find and to whom I was referred. 
>>>    Gov Walker's office contacted the DATCP to provide an expedited complaint.
