The man's side of it!

Every time someone in this house utters that hateful sound, I shudder. That's because I know something else has gone wrong with our house!
That is the only time that man's name is allowed to be used around here!

Cassie and I were having some trouble with the toilet in our bathroom today. I tried plunging it but couldn't get it unclogged. Off I go to the hardware store to buy a snake and some stuff to keep the main pipes clear. After an hour of trying to un-clog the toilet I finally broke through the clog. The bathroom was such a mess I couldn't leave it to Cassie to clean, it was gross! So I cleaned the toilet and floor and figured I was done. Later as I was brushing my teeth for bed I noticed water leaking down the wall from the ceiling behind the toilet. Freakin' Joe! Oh no! Another screw up from Joe, I told Cassie then I called her in to look.

Two years ago we hired Joe Cline owner of TLC Construction to do some remodeling in our new house. One of the things he did was to install a toilet and sink upstairs in a large closet so the kids didn't have to go down stairs in the middle of the night This was our first house together and neither one of us had ever hired a contractor before. Well live and learn, I have learned more about life and things from the school of hard knocks than from any teacher. To make a long sad story short, this guy was a crook and a butcher we had had so many problems with the work he did, the only thing I would recommend him for is a firing squad!

Not only did he not finish all the work he contracted with us for but he ruined our oven, the new kitchen floor, cracked the tub in the downstairs bathroom, did a crappy job installing the kitchen cabinets, lost all the thermostats and switch and outlet covers, gouged $4200.00 extra for the plumbing and the s**t list goes on and on. I didn't pay him the last $5000.00 we owed him because of the s**t job he did.

That didn't stop him from harassing me and threatening me in my own house! I was at a gas station in town when he pulls up along side of me and screams demanding his money. I calmly told him where to go and what to do when he got there and called him a crook and a butcher! That shut him up. apparently he thinks he has a reputation to protect, Hah!

Well it looks like I have my work cut out for me when my shoulder is completely healed. I'm going to have to redo all the crap that he did.

Did you ever report him to the better business?

unfortunately no. There are extenuating circumstances that prevented that. Like the idiot never got the building permit.
