Well it's 'finished', got the final bill from the 'contractor', who of course demands CASH.
Only took 5 MONTHS for the 5by8 foot wooden deck on stilts,vinyl decking and steel railing. There's not enough time to type the KRAP wrong with it but the BIG one for me is...
drum roll please....
We could have replaced ALL FOURTEEN (14) windows in the house, which includes the 5 leaky basement ones for the same amount of Canuck Bucks AND windows would have been installed in 1-2 days.
sigh......
When's Spring ??

The cheque is in the mail. It should reach your destination in oh say five months or so.

DEMANDS cash? There's a lot wrong with it too? What does your contract read like?
(Oral contracts aren't worth the paper they're written on, is what I'm driving at... Pay them what it's worth IMO) |

Ohhh, it's like that. Sorry man. Maybe the idea to pay what it's worth was a good one after all?
