Carbon_One Posted August 6, 2011 #126 Posted August 6, 2011 I'd be camping out on his doorstep. He has to come home eventually ya know and when he does I'd either get some results then or sic the law onto him. Larry
Yammer Dan Posted August 8, 2011 Author #127 Posted August 8, 2011 No Show. Now I'm hoping he won't. Got things to do and can't sit around waiting on him. His workers look to hard at my "junk and toys" to trust them here alone.
Yammer Dan Posted August 9, 2011 Author #128 Posted August 9, 2011 No Show. Last time he was here was July 30th. He is done!!
XV1100SE Posted August 9, 2011 #129 Posted August 9, 2011 Good choice. Now to find him to tell him he is done.
Flyinfool Posted August 9, 2011 #130 Posted August 9, 2011 Are all of the materials for the job already on your property? They are yours, you paid for them. Are there any of his tools or equipment on your property, that could be a bargaining chip for at least a partial refund for work that was paid for but not done. You could just send him a certified letter with return receipt as proof that he did receive something from you that you claim was a cease work order. Since there is no completion date in the contract I do not know if you will be able recover and money paid to him or recover the cost of the new contractor as the cost of damages. Take lots of pics and make sure the time and date stamp is turned on. Take pics at the end of EVERY day whether or not any work got done. You need to be doing some of your own CYA. I think that any reputable contractor that is looking to finish this job will be understanding of your wish to have a completion date with penalties for being late written into the new contract. I would be wary of any that do not understand. Once you have him officially fired, contact every local referral service and the BBB. Maybe you can save someone else from the same Grief you are having. While you are talking to the local referral services find out about some good contractors. If all of the materials for the job are already there, expect the next contractor to bid high on the labor since he will not be making anything on the materials. You have a carrot of future work (if he does a good job cleaning up this mess) to try to get that cost down some. Good luck.
Yammer Dan Posted August 9, 2011 Author #131 Posted August 9, 2011 Good choice. Now to find him to tell him he is done. Won't answer phone never been at his house when I showed up there. Just shows up when he wants to. About the worse screw-up I have ever had.
Yammer Dan Posted August 11, 2011 Author #133 Posted August 11, 2011 I have the blocks & mortar. Still couple hundred block or better to lay. I'm going to start myself.
Yammer Dan Posted August 12, 2011 Author #134 Posted August 12, 2011 I haven't been here. Neither has he!! Took Warden to ER for one of her bouts with her gut. Tricked me. They kept her!! I haven't been in bed since I took her. I remembered how she stayed with me. She is still there but insisted I come home for nap!! They still don't know what is going on. I need her Fixed and QUICK!!!
Snaggletooth Posted August 12, 2011 #135 Posted August 12, 2011 Thoughts for the the Warden and you Dan.
FuzzyRSTD Posted August 12, 2011 #136 Posted August 12, 2011 Sorry to hear of your sickness Dan, we hope she is well soon. Sometimes when it rains it pours. You all are in our prayers. Fuzzy
Yammer Dan Posted August 12, 2011 Author #137 Posted August 12, 2011 She is in a lot of pain and they don't know why. Morphine don't work on it. Toradal (spelling) seems to help a little. Not something I can fight. Hate to see her like that. She even now made me come home to get some rest. Thoughts and Prayers for her will be appreciated. I miss her already.....
BradT Posted August 12, 2011 #138 Posted August 12, 2011 Dan, I hope she is feeling better soon. Just make sure she comes home to a cleaned house Brad
Carbon_One Posted August 12, 2011 #139 Posted August 12, 2011 Sending up some prays for the Warden Dan. Hope between the Lord in Heaven and the Docs they can find and fix what's ailing her. Peace to you brother, Larry
Yammer Dan Posted August 12, 2011 Author #140 Posted August 12, 2011 Off to hospital this morning and damn contractor calls to tell me he is on way and hangs up???? SOB probally steal everything in sight. Claimed he had been out of town for couple weeks and hung up didn't get chance to tell him where to go!! Gotta go
XV1100SE Posted August 12, 2011 #141 Posted August 12, 2011 Hope your wife gets better soon and they identify the cause. Have you considered holding an "M,B & E" (Meet, Build, & Eat) to get the garage built?
Carbon_One Posted August 12, 2011 #142 Posted August 12, 2011 Have you considered holding an "M,B & E" (Meet, Build, & Eat) to get the garage built? Good idea there. I know I would help if closer to Dan. Surely there's enough hands in his area to get'r done. Good luck at the hospital Dan. Larry
Guest Posted August 12, 2011 #144 Posted August 12, 2011 Prayers sent for the Warden and you too Dan. Prayers sent for the contractor too so that you wont hurt him so bad....(although a good head kick would be in order)
cecdoo Posted August 12, 2011 #145 Posted August 12, 2011 Hopefully the warden is feeling alittle better, we will keep her in our thoughts. Craig:fingers-crossed-emo
Yammer Dan Posted August 13, 2011 Author #146 Posted August 13, 2011 Got to bring her home but they still know nothing. Back Monday for more tests. This is getting old. Contractor was here might have laid 60 or 70 blocks. Messy as usual. I have a antique Dodge sitting out back with mortar slung all over it!! I have thought of a M&E but its so much of a mess now. Was thinking of cookout in "New" Garage..... Any body got one???
dingy Posted August 13, 2011 #147 Posted August 13, 2011 Good news. Before you know it she will be nailing plywood to roof on that garage you are dreaming about. Gary
Yammer Dan Posted August 13, 2011 Author #148 Posted August 13, 2011 Good news. Before you know it she will be nailing plywood to roof on that garage you are dreaming about. Gary Nope!! She says Metal roof. She don't like heights....
Squidley Posted August 13, 2011 #149 Posted August 13, 2011 All the best to Momma Dan, I do hope they can find the issue and take care of it.
Skid Posted August 13, 2011 #150 Posted August 13, 2011 I have thought of a M&E but its so much of a mess now. Was thinking of cookout in "New" Garage..... Any body got one??? Garage, how much room do you need?
