Re: structural engineer please apply....

I hope OP has already resolved his contractor issues.

Re: structural engineer please apply....

Ok so thanks again for everyone's advice and info. Much against my advice and the advice of those on here, we have stuck with this contractor. The deadline for completion is tomorrow, he is maybe 90 percent complete, more like 80. He has continued to try and cheat us at every turn, i told him we would have wifes brother run drawings for permits, so he brings in his buddy from city hall to feed us some bs that he is the one to sign the approval, then tells us a week later that he needs 78k to process it and we can pay him in installments if we like cause it will take two months to get the permits. Luckily he wanted soo much, my wife was keeping that info from me and stressing at her work so badly one of her friends asked her why and wouldnt you know it... the friend is related to the boss of the contact at city hall... they had lunch yesterday, he will process it for us. Thank god... contractor started painting the other day, i noticed he was using davies, our contract was estimated for boysen. When we chose colors he gave us swatches for ACE and we asked at that point what colors can we choose, his reply was choose any of them, you can go to ACE and they mix it right there for you... I noticed the swatches were ACE brand paint and not boysen so i went to ACE and checked prices... realized quickly Davies is the cheapest paint they carry. So when he started painting initially with davies i asked at least ten times why davies why davies... reply was they wanted to test the color, we chose a red for the main floor walls, everyone was kind of curious why such a red color when i suggested it so i thought naturally they wanted to see what it would look like.. everyone liked it... thing is they had six little cans of that red and kept painting it... they only finished about half way when i finally had enough and insisted why arent we using boysen... his reply is they don't make latex semigloss boysen in red... my reply was we dont want semigloss we want satin finish... his paint estimate says he needs 8 tins of boysen flat latex priced at 1810 per tin. 5 tins of semigloss boysen latex priced at 2190 per tin.... the davies he was trying to use on our walls, 569 per tin... If i were a different man... this guy would at a minimum be in the hospital. anyway, you guys are great and thanks for letting me vent. Oh yeah also.. this doesnt need to be pinned anymore... thanks for that by the way and for those i who offered me assistance and i didnt call you... it wasnt my choice, wife refuses to fire this guy. Thanks anyway.

Re: structural engineer please apply....

I hope all works out well in the end.

I'm just wondering if the contractor had not made a bid low enough that he's painted himself into a corner or he just plainly wants to cheat to get more milk out of the contract.
