passionate about this whole house situation like extremely passionate i've never seen catherine like this before she was ready to literally expose everyone and air out the entire situation catherine says there's been a lot of damage done to her and austin's relationship because of all the fake things that people have been spreading about them she claims it's always the same two media outlets reporting on them and the same nobody t channels these one or two outlets and these like t-channel nobodies that have been making videos about us and talking about us in a negative light it's because they make money off of us and they're using you your clicks they're using you so stop being so bitter stop being so angry stop attacking us they started back at the very beginning when they first found the house that was foreclosed on austin said when they were living at their old rental house they could see these new houses going up from the view in their backyard one day austin went over there and asked the builders what the plan was and they said they were gonna build three houses and make it a cul-de-sac in austin's mind he felt like one big house would be way better because it was up on a hill isolated and away from everyone he asked the builders if that would be possible and after doing a little bit of research they told him yes and that's where all their problems start catherine claims everyone involved in this entire situation completely them over apparently the contractor on the job wasn't even a real contractor the architect took tons of money from them the realtor they used apparently knew they were getting scammed and was involved in the whole thing like just a complete mess now here's where austin and catherine really messed up they went into escrow without getting a certificate of occupancy closing on a house without getting this is a huge no-no a certificate of occupancy is a document issued by the city that says yep this house is up to code everything is in working order nothing needs to be changed and it's safe for people to live here trying to finance a house without this document is extremely difficult lenders don't want to hand over millions of dollars when they don't have proof that the house is up to code these lenders giving out huge amounts of money want to protect their investments too and a certificate is a huge deal to them it's kind of like buying a car without it being certified you're handing over a huge chunk of money and you don't even know the product you're getting works it's really dangerous and honestly just really stupid catherine goes on to say that since they never got the certificate and legally weren't supposed to be living there they couldn't even get gas hooked up to the house they didn't have any heat they didn't have any hot water they had to bath their babies in cold water and they couldn't even use their own kitchen appliances they were cooking all their meals in air fryers and hot plates like full on camping in their own house they said they even tried to hide this from their own fans they felt like it would look bad and a lot of people would be asking tons of questions and the problems with the house just got worse and worse within a few weeks of living there that huge nice entrance door that they had started warping and caving in from the heat now the builder told them this store was mahogany wood which is extremely expensive it apparently cost
