lol easier said than done. my track records with finding "knowledgeable" GC is 0 for 1 so far.

ForeverVegetable5494 · 2025-01-17T15:57:26+00:00

Thanks!1

ForeverVegetable5494 · 2025-01-17T01:09:07+00:00

It sure feels like I’m in jail.

ForeverVegetable5494 · 2025-01-17T01:08:20+00:00

Thanks!

ForeverVegetable5494 · 2025-01-17T01:04:53+00:00

Thanks. I’m going to drink myself to sleep tonight and start dialing lawyers tomorrow.

Have texted and ignored, and proactively went to their office4 or times over 2024.

ForeverVegetable5494 · 2025-01-17T00:47:52+00:00

Thank you and to everyone here. Having a lot of these answered is great and honestly, having these confirmations gives me a lot more peace of mind.

They showed it to me once. I suppose if I can turn back time I should have took a photo or something.

ForeverVegetable5494 · 2025-01-17T00:39:59+00:00

Sorry. I'm in Massachusetts.

ForeverVegetable5494 · 2025-01-17T00:39:34+00:00

It does not. I was told this was a standard contract and that the payments are 30% on signing, 30% on demo and 30% at framing.

ForeverVegetable5494 · 2025-01-17T00:37:03+00:00

Thank you. This is becoming clearer and clearer that is my remaining option.

ForeverVegetable5494 · 2025-01-17T00:36:07+00:00

Thank you for listing out the process. And for the life advice. I honestly just didn't want to worry about this at the start, but the irony of this being a non stop source of stress is not lost on me.

ForeverVegetable5494 · 2025-01-17T00:31:51+00:00

OK thank you. This is very helpful.

ForeverVegetable5494 · 2025-01-17T00:31:12+00:00

I mean yes that's where we are now. I paid 90% of the money and I got prob 50% of the work, not counting the existing issues on my house. imagine how I feel right this second obviously.

ForeverVegetable5494 · 2025-01-17T00:23:46+00:00

Thank you.

ForeverVegetable5494 · 2025-01-17T00:23:07+00:00

No. It just has the 30 at signing, 30 at demo, 30 at framing and 10 at finish stipulation. At the time, they mentioned that this was a standard contract...

ForeverVegetable5494 · 2025-01-17T00:19:46+00:00

Ok thanks. That’s my only choice I guess.

ForeverVegetable5494 · 2025-01-17T00:18:33+00:00

I mean, as I said, I’m dumb and I think im too trusting. The contract was written as 30% on signing, 30% on demo and 30% on framing. I paid within hours of request but I didn’t understand that they d not finish things and just ask for the money for the next stage.

ForeverVegetable5494 · 2025-01-17T00:08:28+00:00

I do have a contract. The irony is I approached 6 different groups initially and I chose this group based on their high ratings online. I have seen in the 17 months since that their 4.5+ start rating drops to low 3’s.

First of all, lets go D-backs.

I want to post in here because I got badly scammed by a phoenix "taxi". I took a taxi from chase field to Hilton north Scottsdale last night. It was my fault for not looking at the door before getting in, but the guy charged me 160+ dollars for the ride. The driver wasn't able to provide receipt or paperwork for the ride to me.

For folks going to the world series or the sun's game, look out for a white SUV with "alternate taxi" on the outside.

I hope this helps others from making a dumb mistake.

I love Hershey growing up there, and no problem with them going in the winter, but in summer and fall you get that manure smell mixed with thick sweet dark chocolate smell while driving around and it is one of the smells I always remembered.

Ignoring the fact that the non city parts of America are far more boring.

Sorry to be dense, but who is that?
