I am spring cleaning my kitchen today and really trying to give my anger over to the Lord.
My kitchen is a wreck! The cabinets don't have doors, the counter is not secure!
This is what happened.
My husband started going to a Calvary Chapel church last summer after we left our church. They had a split, I think I wrote about it. That is when I pretty much left. Now I call it "the church my husband goes to" although he got smart and doesn't go anymore.
Pastor Don lost his job. We were told that he was a cabinet maker. So we thought it would be a win-win situation. We hired him to do the kitchen at $25 an hour. He gave us an estimate. He was going to be done before christmas. Then christmas came and went with a construction zone in my home. He did not know what he was doing! He came late, left early, counseled people from his church while here and made A LOT of mistakes. THE ONLY JOB FINISHED is the ice maker got hooked up. AND OUR FRIDGE DIED! We called a repair man and $120 later found out DON KNOCKED OFF THE FAN IN THE BACK WHILE REPAIRING THE ICE MAKER!
HERE'S WHERE WE SUCK- they never ever had a vacation since they moved to Connecticut from California. They were going home to visit their family for the first time in 7 years. We paid them $500 (the bill was going to total 675.) as an advance. TOTALLY MY DUMB IDEA> figured he was coming all the time and would finish it!
He came one time to the house after his vacation with a group of men to help put up our gutters--- their outreach project. Well, they worked hard ripping out old sheetrock in the basement but never hung the gutters ???????? I was a confused wife but figured let the men work---??? grateful for any help.
WE HAVE NOT SEEN HIM SINCE> My husband went back to that church right after their help and thanked him.
Last night their administrator (a very nice lady) called to see how we were doing. Don told her that he was waiting for us to call him :confused: :confused: :confused: (WHO CAN SPELL< "TRIANGULATION")
We have been! And he says he is very busy and will get back to us . . . . .he thought he'd see us at church is why he hasn't called us back!
after she told us that, my husband called him, left a message saying, "I think we are confused, can you come out?"
We even found someone else to do the tiling that we already paid him to do but she can't without the counter top secure! My husband told him, can you please just secure the counter top?
NO RETURN CALLS!
My husband says we only have an estimate from him not a contract so again, WE ARE LEFT ROBBED BY A MAN OF GOD>
How does one NOT get bitter!
I want what we paid for! I am going to write him a letter and if that does not work an editorial for the newspaper!
NOVEMBER WE HIRED THIS THEIF! FREAKIN' NOVEMBER!
