Another term is about to end. I am done with clinical next week and just have a paper and a final to take then I am half way through this grueling year. I am done June 13. Actually before that since that is graduation. This has been the hardest term yet. Clinical was....well.......an experience. Let's say I have high hopes for the next term.
I swear I am on another planet most of the time. I have no idea what the goings on are at my house. It will be nice to be in the loop again. One thing I do know about is the GINORMOUS screw job we have gotten from our house painter/contractor. I never thought this would actually happen in a small town, let alone to us. Our super nice contractor who promised us the world and brought my kids McDonalds every morning while they were here took our money and ran. That's right. Thousands of it. He was such a slippery little shit, talking up a storm about what he can do, what he will do, when it will get done, how great their work is, etc......... We thought "Is he too good to be true?"
YES
I know, I know, 'why did you pay him up front Teresa?!' B/C we were foolish. So if you want to hire a fantabulous painter who is going to take care of you, do not hire Joe Tripp aka Creative Coatings out of Wyalusing. Now we have gotten estimates from someone else to finish the work and we have to go to court. What a pain.
sorry to hear about your contractor...I remember you talking about the troubles you were having when we were there in August. There is no excuse for people like that (although they always come up with plenty!). Be sure to make a posting for him on Angela's List.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on making it through another term :-) Keep plugging away...you're almost there.

Sorry!! :( I hate stuff like that! And like either of you has time to add taking someone to court on your agenda! I guess I thought he was all done.
ReplyDeleteHe was just a skeevy little bugger. Sorry to hear he got away. :(
ReplyDeleteHow are the boys? Tell them I say hey! :)
