When two weeks had passed, my husband called to ask when he was going to finish the job. He returned the call a few days later and said he would get to it very soon; he had been busy. We went on vacation. When we returned 8 days later, the stumps had still not been ground down. My husband called again, and calmly (but frustratedly) asked when he was going to complete this work, as it had now been over three weeks, and could he please give us a date by which it would be finished, otherwise we were going to have to figure something out.
He returned the call the next day, yelling at my husband, telling him he wouldn't be threatened or harassed. (I could hear him yelling on the phone, and I was sitting 8 feet away.) He said he gets 14 phone calls a day and he can't do everything, so he wasn't going to finish our yard. Upon calling to get estimates to grind down the stumps, everyone we've spoken to said it would cost more than $100 to grind down the stumps, and that we had actually already paid for more work than was completed. We are currently debating whether it is worth it to pay our attorney to deal with "Down to Earth's" breach of contract, or just eat the difference and discourage the many homeowners we know from using them.
"well im very sorry this lady is is so dis-satisfied- but i cant apologize because i dont feel i did anything wrong. As a matter of fact I was very prompt for her because she could not get anyone else to show up for an estimate for 2 weeks now -she said- I could here her kids screeming in the background the first innitial phone consultation and when i went out there the next day and rang the doorbell she did not answer the door so i knocked 3 times. when she finally came to the door-she looked and acted like a stressed out train wreck with a very rude attitude as if I had done something wrong. I should had just walked away and said sorry but because I am a people pleaser I tried to convince her that she would feel better after the trees were gone and even threw in a bonus cheep by trimming both the trees hanging over the drive practically scraping the cars. I made it very clear as i always have that i was so backlogged that i could not get to the stump grinding part of it for at least a few weeks. 1 week later her husband called and left a message expressing his discust that the stumps were not ground yet- even though they had not paid for that part of the job yet. He called every week with a worse attitude and I had to tell him of what i thought of there High pressure bad attitudes which im sure did not sound sweet . But sometimes rude and mean people need to hear the truth about themselves. I feel sorry for them- maybee if they would give there kids an old fashioned spanking- for screeming all the time, they wouldnt be so stressed out and might be able to deal with pro"s better- and have a little class- But i swear people like this are miserable and want to make as many peeople as miserable like them- but i forgive them and hope they find the lord. sincerely : tom brooks - down to earth"
"call me please im free to come and estimate 219-671-1027 thanks for the good review. tom"
"thank you [member name removed]- was an absolute pleasure -appreciative customers like you are golden"
"there is always 2 sides to a story- this person has altheimezers-dimentia- no question- because he told me at the beginning of the job that he wanted to save money by keeping the wood and he would give it to a friend or neighbor- the problem is that his friend or neighbor never got the wood like he thought and is blaming me for that- when it was all his idea to begin with. people like this deserve to be in a nursing home because they really are causing problems like this all the time. god less sir"
