Re: doesn't anyone
Oh gosh, Gene, what a mess! What a shame.
I once had an Amish contractor dump the materials for my front porch in the
driveway and then just never come back. I called his neighbor many times
leaving messages to call me, to no avail. I finally had to hire someone
else to make a porch from the pile. But nothing as serious as the mess
you've been left with.

Think I can understand, Kitty
I hired a contractor to work with me to design a gate house and build
it. We made sketches and came to agreement and he began... only to wander
off. He could not complete the construction for he has worked himself into
a corner and did not know how to finish the construction. We had to hire
someone else to undo almost everything the original contractor did, then
begin over. Second person doing twice the work and at higher rates. Now
weather has set in and the job can not be completed by the second
contractor.
Have a second job that was started and not completed due to the
weather. Right in front of the house. Design and construct a water
feature... we have sidewalks torn up, paths gone, boulders all over the
place now... soil is too wet to work and probably will be until spring.
Just as the nursery opens.
Third project was never started.
If the man had come when promised and stayed on the job all three
projects would be completed now and I would have the water feature
landscaped.

ever get it right? Or is it just me?
I've regaled you all in the past with my home improvement stories. The
guy that took 8 months to do my kitchen and still hung doors sideways.
Then last spring, the craftsman who stained all my woodwork red (which I
have since decided I like for just that room). Now it's the window
people. I spent a fortune on 3 new windows last August to get these
wonderful Shuco windows. They promised 4-6 wks. After a ba-zillion
mistakes, they finally brought my windows today. And the biggest one is
wrong. I did not request ugly slats of fiberglass in the windows; I paid
extra for beveling, etching, perimeter v-groove as they call it, in
otherwise big plain panes of glass. The screens are in 2 pieces instead
of one.
He installed one window today and will come back Monday. They WILL make
everything right, but instead of having it all done before Thanksgiving,
I am now pinning my hopes on Easter.
thanks for listening.
