CORNELL CONSTRUCTION CO INC

CREATING THE FRENCH DOOR AND HANGING THE LIGHTS WERE DONE OK, BUT THE TILE JOB WAS AWFUL. THE SPACES BETWEEN THE TILES WERE UNEVEN AND THEY USED EXTRA GROUT IN THE CORNERS TO MAKE UP FOR CUTTING THE TILES TOO SMALL IN THE FIRST PLACE. [LATER MIKE JOKED THAT WAS THE FIRST FLOOR HE'D EVER TILED.] THEY TOOK THE BATHROOM WALLPAPER OFF SO BADLY THEY HAD TO RECOVER THE WHOLE ROOM WITH 1/4'' DRYWALL, AND THEN MADE A TERRIBLE JOB OF MUDDING AND PAINTING THE ''NEW'' WALLS. IN FACT, THEY DID AN AWFUL JOB PAINTING THE WHOLE INTERIOR OF THE HOUSE BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T PREP ANY OF THE WALLS PROPERLY. THEY RARELY SANDED BETWEEN MUD COATS; THEY JUST KEPT REPAINTING AND THEN ''POINTING UP'' WITH NEW MUD. THEY ALSO REFUSED TO FINISH OFF DETAILS THAT COULDN'T EASILY BE SEEN. TIM WAS ESPECIALLY GOOD AT HIDING HOLES UNDER SINKS AND TOILETS BY TAPING OVER WET, UNSANDED MUD BEFORE PAINTING IT. THEY SEEMED NOT TO TAKE ANY PRIDE IN THEIR WORK, SPEED WAS MUCH MORE IMPORTANT TO THEM.
