MAN AROUND THE HOUSE LLC

"In regards to the rant that was posted 11-29-08 This job was done in November and December of 2007. Why the member made the discussion to insult my integrity eleven months after the work had been done instead of calling me to discuss these issues, I have no idea. The Jacuzzi tub was the first thing she wanted installed, while this project was under way she decided to have me tile the deck and floor in the aria. Because she added this new tile work it extended the job. Because the toilet had to be removed to tile the floor she decided to install a new one when it was time to put it back. Now we had to shop for a new toilet. This delayed the job. She pointed out that the restroom window was hard to operate and she asked me to pickup and install a new one. When I removed the old window I noticed moisture in the wall so I checked the roof and found a hole which I repaired at no extra charge. This added time. After the toilet and restroom floor was finished she then decided to purchase a new vanity and Top for the area and asked me to shop for it with her so we went and she purchased the new vanity, Vanity top, Faucets and light fixtures. This added to the time. To install the new vanity, closet and lighting to the new configuration the plumbing and electric had to be moved. This added to the time. There was enough wall paper purchased to cover the four areas in the bed-bath area that she told me to cover and no more. The Mirror frames where removed so the wall paper could be hung and she told me not to put them back because she was thinking of doing something different with that space. At that time The extra roll she is accusing me of steeling was one I purchased to see if it was what she would like in the kitchen, there was not enough to do the kitchen and I needed to seal the tile so I returned it to purchase grout seal which was used on her tile. While all this was being done I and installed a new vent hood over her range for no charge. I secured the car port so it wouldn’t sway; I put up her Christmas lights. I installed storage shelves in the spare bedroom. She did give me a battery operated reciprocating saw as a gift and am still grateful. After Christmas I took down and packed away her Christmas lights and stowed them in the spare room. There was two weeks during this time I came down with the flu and couldn’t work, I called her and let her know I was Ill, and as soon as I was able, I was back to work for her. The monetary tips she insisted I accept where greatly appreciated; IF I WAS PADDING MY TIME AND DOING SUCH A BAD JOB; WHY WAS I BEING TIPPED FOR A JOB WELL DONE? The electronics she said she gave me where donated to good will and the receipt was given to the member. I DID THIS AS A FAVOR!!! The front left side of the Jacuzzi was installed as an access panel; if she would have called me I would have reminded her or gone to her home to show her how it worked. We never agreed to paper the kitchen wall. One day on a weekend or holiday I can’t remember exactly what day it was but it was during this time, she called me and asked me to rush over and help her take their dog to the vet so I hurries over and picked up there large dog and loaded it in her SUV and drove them to the vet. The dog was unable to walk and a few days later their pet passed away. I installed a new shelf in their living room which they use as a memorial for their lost pet. The member was furnished all receipts for purchases made for the materials used for all these projects. During this time If she needed a favor I would do it for NO CHARGE Before I started I told her I was A licensed and Insured Contractor. Final note; these rants are coming from a woman who spends her days and nights drinking Gin and ice water with very little water. Some mornings I would show up for work and she would be drunk. After she dragged the job out for so long I wanted to finish and get out of there. This is why I didn’t agree to paper the Kitchen."
