CIVIL ACTION - LAW
DEFENDANTS' COUNTER-REPLY TO PLAINTIFF'S NEW MATTER
Defendants James Bullers and Theresa Bullers, by their attorneys, Snelbaker &
Brenneman, P. C., submit this Counter-Reply to Plaintiffs New Matter as follows:
38-41. Denied. Paragraphs 38, 39 and 40 and 41 of Plaintiffs New Matter contain
I unwarranted conclusions of law to which no response is required by Defendants; therefore, same
I are deemed to be denied.
42. Denied. It is denied that Defendants had not complained or brought the various
defects set forth in Defendants' New Matter and Counterclaim to the attention of Plaintiff. It is
further denied that Defendants characterized the grossly uneven pool bottom surface as having
I "miniscule bumps". On the contrary, Plaintiff was aware of the defects in Plaintiffs work and
installation that are set forth in Defendants' New Matter and Counterclaim.
43. Denied. It is denied that Plaintiff made all necessary repairs as requested by
Defendants. On the contrary, Plaintiff walked off the job refusing to remedy the defects in its
installation and to properly complete the pool installation.
44. Denied. It is denied Defendants did not allow Plaintiff the opportunity to repair
LAW OFFICES Plaintiffs defective work. On the contrary, Plaintiff had the opportunity to repair its work but
SNEL13AKER &
BRENNEMAN, P.C.
chose to walk off the installation job.
45. Denied. Plaintiff s allegation that the contract attached as Defendants' Exhibit 1 does
not include a pool cover is yet another example of Plaintiffs failure to read or understand its own
contract and contractual obligations. The parties' contract as noted in Exhibit 1 specifically
provides for a "standard winter cover" as being included with the pool package.
46. Denied. For the reasons set forth in Paragraph 45, above, the allegations in
Paragraph 46 of Plaintiffs New Matter are denied. On the contrary, Defendants can claim
damages for Plaintiffs failure to provide a pool cover.
WHEREFORE, Defendants request this Court to strike Plaintiffs New Matter and enter
judgment in favor of Defendants in accordance with the demand for damages set forth in
Defendants' Counterclaim.

AND NOW, comes the Plaintiff, Surf Pools Acquisition Corp., t/d/b/a Surf Pools, Inc., by
and through their attorney, Mark K. Emery, Esquire, and files this Answer to New Matter and
Counterclaims, as follows:
16. Denied as a conclusion of law.

general services provided by Plaintiff as well as specific services provided by Plaintiff to
Defendants.

pool.

Under such contract a pool cover is not included.
