burned by a contractor

Well at least this story has a happy ending:

Here's our newly remodeled kitchen (http://picasaweb.google.com/kyermt/CompletedKitchen#), we took out a wall and opened it up and basically had it gutted. Everything is new.

I'll get some pics of the rest of the place up soon, including the hardwoods that had to be re-finished. They look great now.

I really like the small tile backsplash, that's a really nice touch. Glad it worked out.

thanks, hate to pat myself on the back but I picked out the backsplash. That was pretty much my only contribution to the kitchen lol. The wife handled the rest and I just agreed with her.

BTW a suit will be paid out by insurance, so DEF take him to court.
Law suits for poor work are not covered by insurance. Insurance coveres things they damage by accident or if they cut a water pipe or cause a fire etc...

Good to hear things are coming together. For some reason when I click your link all I get is your site and no pics and also happens when I get one of those little red X's to click on. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Looks good Matty. My wife and I are pondering the french door fridge...

Definatly the way to go. Way more room then a side by side. I love it!!

No kidding. At the risk of sounding like a major asshole and taking this thread in a totally different direction, I'm pretty glad to see a lot of things happening in the economy right now.

Seeing someone who made less than I did, with worse credit than me, acquire the financing to buy a much bigger house than I had always pissed me off. A big part of me is glad to see it turning around, because now there's some justice in the financial system again.

except the asshole that sold them terrible loans made bank and on top of that, I'm paying for it anyways due to some fat bank bailouts with low accountability or tracking on the cash flow.

and now I can't re-finance without putting massive points even though my credit score is over 800, I've never had a late payment, I've got lots of equity and cash assets, plenty of insurance and a guaranteed job.

so I'm paying for the people that couldn't afford their houses and now I also get to pay more for mine and lose value as well.

real win-win.

I hear you man when we bought our house in 2005 we had a budget of $250 that is what we could afford. the bank approved us for $500K, many people bought homes they could not afford. they were like will if the bank says I can get a $500k loan I must be able to afford it.

Hopefully Obama throws us a lifeline because as usually it is the guy who is trying to do the right thing that ends being screwed.
