Heh... we were out and about in the truck recently, on a very muggy, humid day... My husband looks around and goes "why's it so cloudy in here?" :D I just laughed and rolled down the window. I'm no cloud-chaser, at 75%-80% PG, but on humid days... it doesn't dissipate so quickly. :D

He can always tell when I'm vaping Blueberry Muffin instead of Virginia. He says it smells like pipe tobacco... the actual tobacco, not the smoke. Which is weird, because the only part of it that's in any way related to tobacco is the nicotine/WTA... all the rest is Blueberry Muffin and Banana Nut Bread.

My remodel has just hit the jackpot for another disaster. Think I talked about the new hardwood buckling in the kitchen. So finally found Servicemaster contractor to come out to house today. The beautiful, Amish wood is bad. It meters out at 16% moisture on the bare wood for the living room (not installed yet) and 18% in the kitchen, where it has buckled. Our contractor did not put down a vapor barrier, just brown paper which is not a vapor barrier. Doesn't matter, we were told the hardwood has to come up. It was not cured (dried) properly and will buckle on and off with the weather. Has to be torn out and not fit to be used unless the Amish guy can cure it right.

We are meeting with our contractor Monday and I think he is going to walk off the job. He won't even tell us the name and address of the Amish guy and will not admit that the brown paper he used is not a vapor barrier.

We are not in a good place. I called the ins company and they say it is not covered in our homeowners policy. The materials and anything to do with the remodel is not covered. They paid us for the original wood that was damaged by the pipeburst and we are stuck

Looks like attorney is next step but we do not have that kind of money. I tried to look up contractor on the State for his license info and it looks like he may not be licensed. Neither he or his wife have jobs that we can attach if we win a judgment so I do not know what we will end up doing. Will think on it this weekend.

Not a happy camper.

Sheri, Ugh that is horrible and I am so sorry this just seems like one frustration after another.
Cant you file a lien against their property? i know you can in MO just an idea.... but I am sure that if you speak with a lawyer they may suggest that!

:cry: Done! My daughter had some problems as she headed into her senior year of high school. When I called our family doctor's office for help the doctor got on the the phone immediately and she had an appointment with a psychiatrist the following day. I have had issues with the office staff before but they recognized this and acted very swiftly.

Thanks Beebop. Wish it worked that way in this case, I would rather her be in inpatient care...

I am so sorry you are going through this, beyond that I don't know what to say. :(
TN does not require contractors to be licensed and the licensing procedure is pretty easy to pass for those who do get licensed. Cliff's nephew got his license and I have seen his work, no way would I let him do any work for me.

The only suggestion I can make is to try to contact Adam Corolla (sp) the comedian, he had a reality show on TV for a while where they would lure bad contractors to a bad job they had done and make them fix it the right way. Can't quite remember the name of the show but it was pretty good.

:growl: Steam gives me hives...

Why is that? I only use it for a few games and I hate that you have to install so many updates its silly really.

But I have a few games on there that I love to play. Madness returns, plants vs zombie #1, evil genius and a few play around packs. that some of my old work pals have given me

Whew what a large amount of catch-up I had!! Sorry I've been absent lately. My home is full of chaos, nothing new there. The cats knocked their water bowl over on top of my VERY recently purchased VERY expensive internet router and we have been without Wifi since last week. My poor cell phone has never claimed to have "lightning fast" internet and I've taxed it severely. The tech will come out tomorrow and give me the bad news about why we can't get the signal back. The good news is I have insurance and it will be replaced for free. The bad news is someone in my house is stupid enough to put the cat's water bowl ABOVE the router. All I can say is it wasn't me!!

Condolences Ethereal for your loss, I'm so sorry. Heading over to check out your petition soon.

Shari you poor dear! Hope you don't have to resort to breaking kneecaps to get your house fixed!!
