Out Out With You!

I dismissed the contractor and his goof ups! My heart could take no more. They had splattered the ceiling stuff all over my walls, doors, furniture, carpet which the contractor swore he couldn't see what I was talking about but I informed him that it shows up well in pictures, my furniture, my paintings, etc. The contractor sent a guy in to touch up paint everything.

Now, anybody that's ever tried to touch up paint knows that it doesn't work. You can have six cans of the same color mixed and you will get home with six different shades of the same color. I told Mr. Parker that the entire ceiling had to be painted and all four walls. He would not do that. He assured me that when the paint dried it would match. I assured him that he was full of shishkamooska and he and I both knew he knew better.

Finally I said look, I'm afraid to have you start anything in the bathroom or laundry room. Who knows what kind of trouble you could get into with all that woodwork and plumbing going on in there. My husband repaired and cleaned up the ceiling on the deck. How about if you just give this ceiling in my bedroom a good coat of paint to make me happy and I will repaint the walls myself. And that was the deal. He even threw in painting my bedroom door where it was splattered to boot. He SPRAY PAINTED it! He spray painted my bedroom door for Heaven's sake! Nobody spray paints a wood door! I went out in th egarage and dug around until I found the very can of paint that I had used when painting that door but he spray painted it instead.

Now Mr. Parker promises in time this wall will change colors and match all over. BS.

And this is that good coat of paint on my ceiling he promised. My daughter was a better painter than that when she was but 13. These people evidently make a living doing this.

SO, Mr. Parker and I sat down with the bill and the checkbook and he tried to convince me why I should write my check for $450 more than his original estimate. There were some things my husband asked him to do after the estmate was made and I know I was going to have to add something to his paycheck but he went on to show us little things he corrected while he was on the roof $25 here and $50 there that he didn't charge us for because of the leak problem and $415.82 he didn't charge for ceiling and wall repair. Oh my gosh how freakin' generous of him!

I am so done with this guy!
