"The insurance money was in the bank in which the loan for the house is from.
My banker wanted a bid and a waiver of lien to be given them BUT John Fowler never produced one to me.
My banker also wanted receipts from Fowler and I told Mr Fowler that I needed the waiver signed and all receipts as he buys
any items.  Mr Fowler say OK, but he never signed till the very end and I had to hold money till he did signed it.
As for the receipts, never did he give me any but at the end, he took all at once to the bank to give to them.  I decided to go to the bank and get copies of the receipts but beat him there and so I got a copy plus he got a copy and the bank got the originals.
My banker was great on this as we went over the receipts and I went home and did it again, more then once.
What got me most of all was he kept asking my insurance adjustor what kind of money I was going to get and using my name saying I also wanted to know.  To me, he had no reason to do this, ever.
Fowler charged my insurance for saws of $200.00 and other items plus an account that didn't have any thing to do with me and had no proof that it was plus another account.  All and all, Fowler charged my insurance to pay him $2,588.17.  His bonus money and since he broke our hand shake, didn't get anymore bonus money.
Trust, no way, the work, fine but I had to hold back more money as he didn't finish a few little things that needed to get done and so I had to hold that money just to get his men back.
He said he hates lairs!   He needs to read a dictionary on what a liar is.   I will never use him again for anything and he asked me to allow him to inspect all my rentals as he does that to.  NOPE, can't trust him, hand shake or not, can't trust him.

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

One handy thing about whole-house dehumidifiers is, once installed, you don’t have to worry about placement or changing the dehumidifier’s position. But if you are using a portable dehumidifier, we suggest keeping it away from walls, vents, and furniture. It needs a central, unobstructed spot with access to lots of air to do its job.

If a crawl space isn’t vented, there can be moisture buildup, which can lead to mold damage, easily destroying the foundation of your home. A closed-off crawl space can trap heat, which can be useful in the winter, but can also trap dangerous gases and prevent clean air from entering the home through the floorboards.

If your basement often leaks after heavy rain, it’s probably caused by hydrostatic pressure. When the ground is saturated with water, it can put pressure on the exterior of your home’s foundation, causing cracks in the basement wall and pushing water through any existing weak spots. Over time, hydrostatic pressure can cause structural damage to your home.

Whether to waterproof your basement from the interior or exterior depends on several factors, including your budget.

Exterior waterproofing is generally considered the superior method because it stops water at the source, preventing it from seeping into and damaging your basement walls. This approach offers the most protection, making it ideal if you use your basement for storage.

By contrast, interior waterproofing is often less expensive and requires less labor because the area is more accessible.

For maximum protection against water leakage and moisture, applying waterproofing measures to both the inside and outside is the best solution. However, if you must choose only one, stopping water from the outside is the most effective approach to preserve your foundation and prevent damage.

Mold growth is just one common sign of excess moisture in the bathroom. You may also see the paint in the room start to peel away from the walls, or that the walls remain wet for some time after you bathe.

Condensation on the windows is another sign that your bathroom has a potential moisture problem. The room itself may start to smell like mildew.
