You'd be surprised how many homeowners literally PLOT to screw contractors - I'm dead serious - especially here in Lower Fairfield County, CT.  By default many people believe that contractors are out to take advantage of them.  Why, I'm not sure. Perhaps it's because there are so many incompentents out there and so many people with bad experiences like your own. Disrespectful business practice is a rampant epidemic these days. In any case, that sort of belief system perpetuates a series of unfortunate events the likes of which you can't even begin to imagine. As you know,Hubby has been in this business for years and I could tell you stories...

You were obviously NOT trying to screw your contractor.  If you had been, you certainly wouldn't have had the gall to complain about him.  Your's is an unfortunate experience and I'm sorry that you had to go through it. Consider it induction into a homeowners sorority.   Three days without showers or internet connection, not to mention the noise, smell and mess combined with trying to carry on a normal life as a mom with two little boys and I'd be doing more than firing guys and ranting on my blog page... they'd probably have to peel me off of somebody and cart me away. HA!
