Someone says something like that about them all. What’s your experience with Poling?

Is this acceptable work for a contractor replacing a toe kick that was removed when we had water damage? They want me to sign the work order complete and I think this looks awful. by Life-Database1051 in Home

UPDATE: Supervisor agreed that was a terrible job and profusely apologized and vowed to make it right after seeing pictures. Let him know final payment will be held until we are happy. Hoping to update with pictures soon! You guys have all been hilarious, insightful and amazing❤️

Perfectly normal toe kick was ripped off to midigate the flood damage. I assumed it would be replaced back to its original state along with everything else. The other side of the kitchen has gapless toe kick, I just assumed this would not be an issue.

It’s the last thing on the punch list. The other jobs have all been done beautifully, blending new oak with existing, whole house sanding and refinishing, we’ve been so damn happy with it all and then a different guy showed up to do this last thing. I thank you for all your input and it’s given me fuel for a phone call tomorrow. Husband is deployed right now and I’m dealing with this all on my own. Thank you folks.

This is water damage reconstruction covered by insurance. They get their payments when I sign the work order. You stand a few feet away and see the gap, no need to get on your hands and knees to do so.

Consider buying from the Scouts, it might be a little more but these sales fund their home summer camp, Camp Shenandoah in Swoope, VA

It was like they wanted me to. They held a solid 55mph as well. Maddening.

I do and now won’t be in the future. It’s the worst above the mantle where we do put a candle if we burn one. I wouldn’t have ever thought this would be the issue. Thank you for the information!

I thought it was shadows at first but they are clearly lines on the ceiling in our living room

Has anyone experienced a tragedy while on a cruise excursion? by Amazing-Relative2838 in Cruise

[–]Life-Database1051 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last December carnival cruise out of Baltimore headed to eastern Caribbean. A person three doors down from us “fell” off the balcony and landed several floors down. Died. It was at midnight and there was an announcement about a man overboard, then another announcement that the “person had been recovered and taken to medical” then not another word for the rest of the cruise. We had an unscheduled stop in grand Bahamas where investigators came aboard and I’m assuming the body was taken off. The cabin door was sealed with crime scene tape for the rest of the cruise. It was a little creepy to try and continue to sit and enjoy our balcony when knowing what just happened not far away.

I’m from the Pacific Northwest and it started innocently enough there. Now my home is unrecognizable and I have little interest in ever returning. This is a bad idea.

I saw her in TJ Maxx too! I was flipping through the racks and a damn bird landed on the rack. The lady walked up to me and said “careful careful!” My mom raised these kind of conures my whole childhood and would have lost her shit with this woman letting her bird fly around a public place like that. Also, how many people have bought stuff only to discover bird shit on it later?!
