So we finally told them we would do the job ourselves and they could keep $340 for the work they did and they agreed to give us $500 back. Ater a few months and calls they agreed to pay us $50 a month, we felt sorry for them because they were a young couple. they did pay us 1 $50 payment and that's all.  |
Same thing happened to us but it was to paint the driveway and garage and lanai. When you first move in, its overwhelming the amount of people knocking at your door. People that need to be hired for so many things. Sprinkler system. Some of us never had to do any of this. Sometimes we make mistakes in judgement. We have not been on Talk of the Villages yet, our boxes are still unpacked, lucky if our shades are up, waiting for cable, (another major decision) and some stranger knocks on your door, nicest people in the world, so you trust and understand that they really dont have the outlay money for your tree, paint, whatever. We are out $300. That should be the worst. Its all worth it to live the life, even an extra $300.00.
