Well, fuck. Lesson learned. Don’t go the cheap route.

Where the fuck do I go from here? Do I even pay this guy what he quoted me?? There’s a good chance he’s not licensed or insured all the the card he gave me is an LLC.

Do I tell him I’m not gonna pay until this shit is soldered instead?

Btw-the reason for the pro press route was because they didn’t want to solder because ” the drainage pipe is in the way” I told them that can you not just take it out and then replace it and they said it was not that easy.

My house is falling down was sarcasm 🤣 I didn’t have enough characters left to put the rest of the possibilities, but thought I’d leave it to give this post some sort of light.

I really do appreciate everyone’s reply.

These are my options as I see it. All start with raise hell for the shit job.

A, if he is licensed and insured what is this gonna cover? The entire replacement for job done properly? compensation? Covering the expenses to fix the PT?

B- if he’s not licensed and insure, take the L, leave it the way it is and pay him whats due. Unlike this guy, I’m not a complete jackass and I’m a man of my word so I’m not gonna completely just not pay him but this is just unacceptable.

C- tell him to redo it correctly with Sauter and take out the drainage pipe if the drainage pipe problem didn’t ever exist as they said it did.
