AVEW IS BROKE!! BUSINESS MODEL IS BUSTED!!! THEY'RE IN TROUBLE, MOUNTAINS OF DEBT AND NO CAPITAL TO BAIL THEM OUT!!!
(512) 751-2693 Ask Lisa North for yourself. Please anyone verify what I'm telling you, I dare you!!
Someone questioned whether or not Countryside was still in business and asked for pictures, I happened to be in the area on business so I produced.
You can verify anything I'm posting on the board to include the pictures I linked. If you think they're fake, call Countryside and ask if they are having a sale on fountains or roses. Furthermore, why don't you email me at the email address I left for you...
Lisa North DOES NOT work for AVEW. I don't know how to be any more clearer about this but according to my sources everyone has bailed leaving Jose and Jay with the bag to clean up all of the mess Jose created by failing to pay for salaries and services.
LOOK WHAT I FOUND... NOW DO YOU BELIEVE ME??

Neal Puckett has left AVEW and their busted pool companies, compare the photos to the existing newgenerationpools.com site. No where on Countryside's pool site does it mention AVEW. The Countryside acquisition is NOT happening!!
Mike Steele is probably getting scammed too, so on his part it's likely wishful thinking or a hope and a prayer.
Has it always been a SCAM? Just contacted L.E. Klein, Coast Spas, and the infrared sauna company. Although AVEW has authorization to distribute their products they have never sold ANYTHING...
A very novel idea GTN, however why not Countryside bail AVEW out, pay their many debts, business license fee, websites, office space etc. I firmly believe that the guys running Countryside are no fools, why give up a performing company to a CEO & President who run theirs into the ground?
AVEW's been promised funding for their acquition of Countryside last November, it's mid March and it hasn't happened. Time to face facts, it's not going to happen.
Countryside already has AVEW's pool builder. Just made the call to confirm that Neal Puckett is now building pools for Countryside as Countryside pools. All they need now is a remodel company and a builder.
Sorry I tried something different that didn't work, but here's links to the photos I took late last week.

I have been told in good faith that all of the prior officers are gone, just leaving Jay and Jose. If you need proof, trying calling Countryside and ask for Neal, or call the number on the Fantastic Pool Services website and ask whomever picks up the phone there. AVEW is pretty much done!
If Jay has gone silent, maybe he too has lost faith that this is going to work. He likely run out of excuses, how long has he been plugging along with this, 2 almost 3 years and there's nothing really go to show?!
You mean ANOTHER DEAD Facebook page right? LOL!!
Send me the link to the Facebook page please.
AVEW is NOT using Countryside's facilities as office space, and there is not enough room now that the pool builder, (Neal Puckett formerly Austin Premier Pools & Spa aka New Generation Pools) has left AVEW and is now building pools for Countryside (per earlier conversations). Seems to reason to me that Jay/Jose are officing from their homes. Does this make them relevant? Jay's not responding, maybe he's run out of lies to tell us.
PHOTOS of Countryside and AVEW's office that is now up for lease. Link is in German, took a little work but I uploaded them. I'm not certain how they'll get from the website to here...
Plenty of product, looks like they are fired up for spring.
All I have are pictures of the parking lot and office located on 620. You want more?
Forgot to mention another interested business practice, Countryside has filed an intent to lien on several of AVEW's customers. Looks like AVEW did not pay them either...
That was exhausting work, I did not get back to my hotel room until 10 pm.
COUNTRYSIDE is very much alive and open, AVEW, on the other hand, is on a downward spiral. I had two conversations with people who asked me not to mention them or how I came across them so I won't. I met both separately. If any of what I was told is true, I hope you've got your coffee and cigarettes and are sitting down for the remaining of this post.
Basically, the officers sans Jose and Jay have all left. The pool builder now works for Countryside, and they have opened up a new division Countryside pools. Not too sure about the pool maintenance guy, however, everyone else from the press releases I asked about by name, J. DePetris, M. Meyers, A. Hayes, E. Davis, T. Smith, L. North, are no longer with the company. Tarragon, I could not get a good answer about, something strange is going on there as well. It appears that things folded late January, basically due to lack of funding leaving all of AVEW's companies defunct. Jose and Jay have been left to clean up the messy situation of the remaining pools that were under contract before everyone's departure.
I did however call what I think is a google voice number and reached Davis, he refused to talk to me and instead offered me Jose and Jay's email addresses and phone numbers. He did however confirm that he was no longer under AVEW's employment but hung up on me when I pressed him with more questions.
Both stories matched regarding an ongoing issue with AVEW's non-payment of subcontractors, resulting in slow work. Pools that should have taken 3 to 4 months to build were taking far longer to build, resulting in pools taking far longer or contracts being canceled.
A group of AVEW employees went to New York in November to meet the investor group that was to loan AVEW the money to complete the acquisition of Countryside. AVEW was promised money before months end, yet they have not received any funding. When asked about the audited financials we have been waiting so long to receive, no one knew, however, I surmise that if the companies under AVEW have gone dark, and if Jose and Jay are the only ones remaining, what is left to audit?
NO POD @ COUNTRYSIDE and the office that is listed here is up for empty and up for lease. Raining pretty good this morning so I'll go back by and take pictures when the weather clears up a bit, does anyone know how to load them?
I am in Austin for a few days, anything I can do to visually verify what likely has already been verified?
AVEW is bankrupt... broke... the wheel is no longer spinning. If the Yelp review is true, (which is not hard to verify) then AVEW cannot pay subcontractors to do work, which translates as to why they can't afford to pay for basics such as $20 bucks for a domain name, business license, office space, and other websites.
This is also intriguing, the person who posted this Yelp review says this:
UPDATE: It is now the middle of February. Permits are still on my window and they have not fixed the drainage issues in the pavilion. They offered to pay for a garden path, pay for some sod and add a concrete pad if I would take this review down. They had a company install the garden path but nothing else has been done. Today we got an affidavit of a lien from the company because they were not paid for the path!! This has honestly been a NIGHTMARE!! Almost a year and this project is not completed. The only person that worked there that gave a damn has since left. AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!!
Could this company very well be Countryside? If so, what does it mean if the very company AVEW is tending to purchase is indeed filing liens for AVEW's unpaid bills? Three liens one project, I'd be irate too!
How much are domain names these days, a dollar per month?! What about these other imaginary companies that AVEW supposedly owns:
http://www.remodel-outdoor.com/ - website down
http://fpstx.com/contact/2745587 - website up but has different address
https://www.facebook.com/PegasusConstruction/ - posting to page stopped Dec 15th https://www.facebook.com/New-Generation-Pools-310475369144429/ - posting stopped same day
oh and why are they having a pool builder from Dallas come in again to build pools, according to press releases they have 2 already, Neal Puckett and Lisa North???
Got this basic stuff just from about 15 minutes of googling. Oh and you should see all of the stuff there is about Jose Chavez when he was president of Austex, sounds a lot like the yelp review I posted.
Take a look at this!!

Looks like the writing has been on the wall for quite some time and no one wants to believe it. No office, unhappy customers, no audited fins, website down, and who knows what else...
Been looking at the last couple of weeks post... Does anyone question why a pool builder from Dallas is coming to Austin for a 500k pool project?
