UNETHICAL SALT CAVE BUILDER FROM GREECE
THE COMPANY IS CHANGELAND CRYSTALOTHERAPY FROM GREECE. BASILIS MASOULAS, OWNER, LEFT ASHEVILLE, NC OWING OVER $8000 TO AN ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR WHO PERFORMED MUCH OF CHANGELAND'S WORK SINCE MASOULAS NEVER INQUIRED ABOUT RULES & REGULATIONS GOVERNING CONSTRUCTION IN THE USA. MY COMPANY PAID AN ALL INCLUSIVE PACKAGE PRICE FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE CAVE, THE TRAINING, THE MANUALS FOR THE OPERATION OF THE COMPONENTS OF THE CAVE, AND ALL MATERIALS NEEDED. COMING FROM GREECE MASOULAS WAS TOLD HE WOULD NEED ELECTRICAL ITEMS THAT ARE 'UL' LISTED AND APPROVED FOR U.S.A. USE. HE AGREED TO PURCHASE THOSE MATERIALS HERE AND PAY FOR THEM, SINCE WE PAID FOR A COMPLETE PACKAGE. HE DID NOT HAVE A N.C. LICENSED ELECTRICIAN SO HE AGREED TO USE MY CONTRACTOR AND PAY FOR THEIR WORK. HE AGREED TO PAY WHEN HE RETURNED HOME TO GREECE SINCE HE "MAXED OUT HIS CREDIT CARDS AND NO ONE AT HOME COULD WIRE THE MONEY TO HIM HERE IN ASHEVILLE". ONCE HE RETURNED AND THE CONTRACTOR SENT HIM A BILL HE EMAILED BACK THAT HE WAS 'NOT PAYING'. THIS AFTER BEING RECORDED SAYING THAT HE WILL PAY. WE ONLY RECEIVED 2 MAUALS AND ARE WAITING FOR 2 MORE AND A PLAYLIST OF MUSIC AND A SAMPLE OF THE INTAKE AND EXIT FORMS. THERE WERE NUMEROUS ADDITIONAL OVERAGES DURING THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE CAVE DUE TO MASOUALS' CONSTANTLY CHANGING IDEAS OF THE WORK NECESSARY TO PROCEED. ONE ALWAYS ANTICIPATES EXTRA EXPENSES BUT NOT WHEN THE COMPANY REP. DOESN'T EVEN KNOW THE INFORMATION ABOUT PRODUCTS HE USES ALL THE TIME. HE WAS TOLD THE NETTING HE USES MUST BE FIREPROOF HIS WAS NOT AND HE COULDN'T FIND ANY. WE FOUND ONE HERE AFTER A 5 MIN. GOOGLE SEARCH. HE REFUSED TO BUY IT SINCE IT WAS MORE EXPENSIVE THAN WHAT HE USES. HE COULDN'T GIVE ME THE CORRECT MEASUREMENTS (EVEN THOUGH HE HAD THE PLANS HE APPROVED). I HAD TO PAY FOR THE NETTING TO GET APPROVAL FROM THE CITY. IF INTEREST IN A SALT CAVE CONTACT ME FOR A MORE DETAILED ACCOUNTING OF HIS ERRORS AND OMISIONS AND POOR BUSINESS PRACTICE. I CAN ALSO HELP IN BUILDING A SALT CAVE USING OLD WORLD IDEAS AND MODERN TECHNOLOGY. SOLA SALT CAVE OF ASHEVILLE, NC.
