And the guys came and spent a week and did the upstairs. Nice job.
Then they left. A week passed I was patient. Then when Monday next rolled around and they didn't, I called 'em. They scheduled 4 more weeks before they were going to come back and finish the job, and made sure it was some secretary (helpless negotiator) who delivered the message.
OK I was nice to the girl. I asked nicely if they could make that sooner.
Meanwhile there was all this stuff of theirs filling up my garage and cellar. It wasn't mine, I hadn't purchased it yet, and since it wasn't installed it was of no use to me.
Soooo I drafted up an invoice for rent for five weeks for the space their equipment was consuming. I wanted $10,000.00 and sent it to the parent company ownership in Texas.
I accompanied the invoice with a demand letter insisting payment in 10 days or with no further notice I'd serve 'em a summons and complaint in superior court in NJ. I meant it too. I sent the invoice and letter overnight.
I got a frantic call the next day. They had a change in scheduling and wanted to come back on the 11th (that coming Monday). I said OK and that was that.
They are finishing up tomorrow.
Man that really ticked me off the be strung out like that.
