Below is a basic timeline:
Many of these things I was completely unaware of until they were revealed through my investigative measures in the past 5 years.

• April 22, 2005 – this NEW modular home was purchased from Robb Robbins of Woodale Homes, Inc. of Oregon, Illinois (he filed bankruptcy in 2010).  It turned out that this home was not even built for IL.
• April 25, 2005 – on the very next business day after the purchase of this home, Gary Alberson, the General Manager of Liberty Homes, Inc. is requesting an IL Certification Seal and a Code Compliance Certificate specifically for this home.  But, this home was not even built for IL.  (The plans to build this home were not even submitted let alone approved by IDPH.)  In this letter, Gary Alberson does not provide the full approval number, and indicates only a partial number.  But, Gary Alberson does reference the serial number of this home, 196xu.  THIS IS HAPPENING ALMOST 2 MONTHS BEFORE THIS “MODEL OF HOME” GETS THE PLANS 'APPROVED'... BEFORE IT GETS IDPH APPROVAL TO BE BUILT FOR ILLINOIS.
• April 29, 2005 – John Reilly of IDPH is sending Liberty Homes, Inc. an IL Certification Seal and Code Compliance Certificate specific to this home… serial numbers 36240 and 35707 respectively.  THIS IS HAPPENING ALMOST 2 MONTHS BEFORE THIS “MODEL OF HOME” EVEN GETS IDPH APPROVAL TO BE BUILT.  How can this be?  Why is John Reilly doing this?  Putting aside for a moment all of the structural defects and blatant code violations, this home was not even built for IL.
• Mid-May of 2005 – I found out by calling McHenry County Planning & Development and then calling John Reilly at IDPH, that this “model of home” M4R52-S04 was not approved for Illinois.  The same day I spoke with Mr. Reilly, I then called Robb Robbins and told him.  Robb Robbins said that it was no big deal and that he would take care of it.
• June 16, 2005 – John Reilly of IDPH approved Liberty Homes, Inc.’s M4R52-S04 plans (this model of home)… approval number F-88R30.  This is the approval number that Gary Alberson should have referenced in his April 25th letter, but he could not, because this "model of home" was not yet even approved to be built for IL.
• January 13, 2006 – modular sections were delivered with wrapping that was not secured properly and was flapping around, or wrapping that was torn, and a window and patio door open, allowing water to enter.
• January 14, 2006 – home was attempted to be set on the foundation, and it immediately became apparent that the home had very serious structural issues.
• February 9, 2006 – I emailed John Reilly asking him if approvals are retroactive.  I also spoke with Mr. Reilly indicating that I had very serious CODE and STRUCTURAL issues with this new home.
• February 15, 2006 – John Reilly emailed me indicating that APPROVALS ARE NOT RETROACTIVE.
• March 2, 2006 – This is the day that John Reilly scheduled for the walkthrough inspection.  ON THIS DAY… John Reilly told me that approvals are not retroactive, but since this modular home was at the manufacturer’s facility, he will approve it.  Keep in mind that John Reilly's  “retroactive approval” of this home was after he had seen the home and its code violations, and very serious structural irregularities, and knowing that the home was not built for IL.
