TINA SCHNEIDER - STORMWATER LANDSCAPE CONSULTANT

I WAS IMPRESSED WITH THE AMOUNT OF TIME SHE SPENT AT MY HOME. SHE OFFERED SOME GOOD SUGGESTIONS RIGHT OFF THE BAT. I HAPPILY GAVE HER A CHECK FOR HER FEE OF $150. SHE TOLD ME SHE WANTED TO DO SOME RESEARCH TO DETERMINE WHAT WAS ON MY PROPERTY PRIOR TO MY HOME (ALL THE HOMES AROUND ME ARE HIGHER; THE WATER TABLE IN MY COMMUNITY IS KNOWN TO BE HIGH; THERE USED TO BE STREAMS AND CREEKS JUST ABOUT EVERYWHERE). BASICALLY, SHE WANTED TO SEE IF THE WATER WAS COMING IN FROM A RISING WATER TABLE, OR IF IT HAD MORE TO DO WITH GUTTERS, GRADING ETC. SHE ALSO OFFERED TO COME BACK WHEN IT WAS RAINING. SHE TOLD ME SHE'D LIKELY FORGET AND I SHOULD GIVE HER A RING TO REMIND HER DURING A DOWNPOUR. SHE TOLD ME SHE'D GET BACK TO ME WITH A WRITTEN REPORT (INCLUDED IN HER CONSULT FEE) WITHIN A FEW WEEKS. MANY PHONE CALLS, E-MAILS, PROMISES, EXCUSES AND A FULL 3 MONTHS LATER, SHE HAS YET TO DELIVER. I'VE EVEN OFFERED TO FORGET ABOUT THE WRITTEN REPORT, IF ONLY SHE'D SCHEDULE A TIME TO REVIEW HER FINDINGS AND SUGGESTIONS WITH ME!!
